Eggs have been shown to be a great a food for developing infant and toddler brains. Studies have shown that various biomarkers, like choline and DHA, are all higher in babies that ingest eggs in their first six months. DHA, an omega 3 fatty-acid, has long been shown to have improvements in brain function and development. This evidence just connects it to research and shows potential for other foods which have potential as future foods to aid in development and growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Infants who eat eggs are shown to higher amounts of certain biomarkers, including choline and DHA
- Omega 3 fatty acids, like DHA, have been shown for years to help with brain function.
- This study also revealed that infants that ate eggs reduced stunting and grew taller.
“Eggs have been consumed throughout human history, but the full potential of this nutritionally complete food has yet to be recognized in many resource-poor settings around the world.”
