Egg yolks contain choline, a nutrient that is important for memory. Studies show that deficiency in choline may contribute to age-related mental decline. Your body can't make choline, it must be gotten through diet, and most of us don't get enough. A recent government survey showed that only 2 percent of post-menopausal American women and less than 10 percent of the general U.S. population consume the recommended amount of choline. One hard-boiled egg contains about 20 percent of your daily choline needs.
