Tucking into an egg just twice a week can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by at least 20 per cent.
New research shows that the benefits are even greater for those enjoying eggs five times a week or more, with the risks lowered by more than a quarter.
Scientists think that nutrients in them may help to protect the brain against the ravages of the disease. Now they are recommending regular egg intake as part of a balanced diet to keep Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia at bay.
Britain has an estimated one million people living with dementia.
