What Happens When You Eat 4 Eggs Every Day After 65? (New Study)
For decades, you were told to stay away from eggs — especially the yolks. Too much cholesterol, they said. Bad for your heart. But what does the latest science actually say about eating eggs regularly after 65?
In this video, we break down the real research — including a major 2025 study from Monash University that followed over 8,700 adults aged 70 and older — and explain what happens inside your body when eggs become a consistent part of your diet. From heart health and cholesterol to brain protection, muscle preservation, and even your eyesight, the findings may surprise you.
We also cover how the specific antioxidants in egg yolks may protect against age-related macular degeneration — the leading cause of vision loss after 65 — and why eggs are increasingly being recommended as one of the most effective and practical protein sources for preventing muscle loss in older adults.
A 2024 study from the Rush Memory and Aging Project found a striking connection between egg consumption and Alzheimer's risk — and identified the specific nutrient in eggs that appears to drive much of that benefit. We walk you through the details.
