Choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin found only found in the yolks do wonders for your body 🌈 diet isn’t just about counting macronutrients (carbs, proteins, and fats).
Choline contributes to methylation (a process that helps your body repair & produce DNA). It supports the structural membrane of cells, and helps produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that functions in muscle control, memory, focus, and heartbeat regulation.
Carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin can help reduce macular degeneration.
