Egg yolks are among the best natural sources of choline, a nutrient that facilitates nerve cell transmissions. To store extra yolks for future use, mix in 1/8 tsp. of salt for every four yolks, and freeze in small containers for up to four months. Spinach is rich in lutein, a carotenoid that may help protect against macular degeneration.
