Scientists have determined that it is useful for pregnant women to eat eggs. They contain a key nutrient, which is very important for the health of the child.

For a long time eggs were excluded from the human diet. At first, because of the fears of salmonella, and then due to the fact that after their consumption in the blood supposedly increases the level of cholesterol. And only recently the eggs were completely cleared of all suspicions, so that they again entered our diet. Here is another good news for egg producers - science has proved that this product contains a key nutrient that is very important for health. Eggs for pregnant women are especially useful.

Regulatory turnover of food products in Europe, the department recognized choline as an important nutrient and determined how much it needed a person. This component is especially needed for pregnant women, since it is required for the development of the central nervous system of the baby in the womb. Choline is important for the brain, spine, and even for the development of cognitive processes, that is, learning abilities.

Adequate reception of choline during the second trimester is also associated with the development of better quality visual memory skills in children by the age of 7 years. Choline is often referred to as group B vitamins, since it has similar functions.

In the United States he was recognized as an important nutrient in 1998, when it was found that a person recommended 425 mg of choline per day.

In Europe, this indicator has now been reduced to 400 mg per day. In this medium-sized egg contains 144 mg of colin, and two eggs will provide about two-thirds of the daily recommended dose. One egg satisfies almost 90% of the needs for cholin for a baby aged 7 to 11 months and 100% for infants.
