Improve Concentration with Eggs
Eat some eggs before that big exam or long work day! Eggs contain choline in the yolk. Choline helps regulate the brain and nervous system, which in turn aids concentration and memory.
Introduction
With the advent of low fat diets eggs were maligned and were then found to be good for you. I love eggs and I have always had them, in moderation. They are a powerhouse compared with their calorie count of 75 for a large egg. They are full of nutrients; in fact they are nutrient dense. Nutrient dense foods allow us to feel satisfied without excess calories.
