Doctor Explains: What Happens When You Start Eating Eggs Every Day?

What really happens when you start eating eggs every day—especially after 60?

Eggs are much more than a convenient breakfast. They provide high-quality protein, choline, vitamin B12, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin D, phosphorus, and other nutrients your body continues to use as you age.

In this video, we look at five areas where eggs can contribute to healthy aging: maintaining muscle, supporting normal brain and nerve function, providing nutrients used by your eyes, contributing to bone health, and fitting into a heart-healthy diet.

You'll also discover what researchers found when adults over 60 ate one egg every day for five weeks—and why the yolk may be more nutritionally important than many people realize.
