EGG YOLKS CONTAIN A NUTRIENT ESSENTIAL TO METABOLISM CALLED CHOLINE.
Choline, only found in the yolk of eggs (so you need to eat the whole egg) is a major source of nutrients that we may be lacking in our normal diet. Our bodies can synthesize a small amount of this nutrient, but not enough to meet its needs. So, you need to load up on foods like eggs to ensure you have the right levels. Choline plays a part in many functions within the body including nerve function, metabolism, and brain development.
One large egg, with the yolk, supplies about 145 milligrams choline, or more than one-quarter of the Daily Value of 550 milligrams. It is a good idea to make eggs part of your daily routine. One Journal of Human Kinetics study even reported that supplementing one’s diet with choline contributed to a lower body mass in female athletes and was thought to have contributed to positive athletic performance as well.
The choline found in eggs is imperative for brain development, especially before birth and in early childhood.
Choline is involved in producing cells dealing with memory, mood, muscle control, and other brain functions. Studies suggest that mood disorders like anxiety and depression appear to be connected to unhealthy weight and unhealthy metabolism, so good mental health habits and a healthy diet could influence metabolism in a positive way.
Another nutrient found in eggs, lutein, has some hidden brainpower as well. Lutein is also present in the brain and has been linked to optimal cognition in older adults and academic performance in children.
There could be a connection between healthy brain function and maintaining a healthy weight, according to Harvard Health. Eating processed, sugary foods (which is what makes you gain weight) could be detrimental to brain health and contribute to anxiety or other mental health issues.
It's no coincidence that eggs are a go-to hangover cure breakfast, because choline, the superhero nutrient in eggs, can help liver cells reboot, research shows. Dietitians agree that liver metabolism can't happen without choline, and a healthy liver adds to a healthy fat-melting metabolism in general.
Look out for our next egg recipe.
