Final Thoughts
You don’t need exotic superfoods to support your brain.
Sometimes, the most powerful nutrition comes from humble, everyday foods — like the simple egg.
It won’t “cure” or “prevent” Alzheimer’s. But as part of a diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, it can contribute to long-term brain health.
So enjoy your omelet, boiled egg, or frittata — not because it’s a miracle food…
But because it’s nutritious, satisfying, and worth savoring — one bite at a time.
