How is it good for the brain?

• Eggs

  Choline

  Eggs are a rich source of choline, a nutrient that's essential for brain development and function. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning. Adequate choline intake is associated with improved neurological function and reduced inflammation in the brain.

  Vitamins B12 and B6

  These vitamins play critical roles in brain health, contributing to proper nerve functioning and the production of DNA and red blood cells. Vitamin B12 is particularly important for maintaining the health of neurons and preventing brain atrophy.

  Omega-3 Fatty Acids

  Particularly in free range/ pasture raised eggs. These fats are crucial for brain health. DHA, a type of omega-3 fat, is a major structural component of the brain and is vital for brain development and function.

• Cooked Spinach

  Antioxidants

  Spinach is high in antioxidants like vitamin E, beta-carotene, and lutein, which can protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

  Folate

  Spinach is an excellent source of folate, a B-vitamin that is essential for brain function. Folate helps in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and reducing homocysteine levels in the blood, high levels of which are associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline.

  Magnesium

  This mineral, abundant in spinach, plays a pivotal role in brain function. Magnesium is involved in nerve signal transmission and protecting the brain against excitotoxicity, which can damage nerve cells.
