British researchers say that eggs should be pronounced a super-food as it has a very good impact on human health and even helps to fight obesity. According to nutritionists, egg as food, is one of the richest in good and essential ingredients and we all should have at least one a day.

The Nutrition and Food Science magazine published an article in which researchers emphasised the egg’s important role in general health protection as well as losing and maintaining body weight. Dr Carrie Ruxton, the leader of the study, analysed data from not less than 71 previous studies with her colleagues.

The research aimed at the nutrient content of the eggs and their role in human diet, and it turned out that while eggs are poor in calories, they’re rich in protein and full of essential nutrients important to health, such as vitamins D and B12, selenium and choline.

The investigations also confirmed that between other protein-containing foods, egg contains the richest variety and mixture of amino acids that are indispensable for the healthy growth and development of children, adolescents and young adults. In addition, the high levels of antioxidants in the egg helps in preventing the age-related macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries.

Quail egg is proved to be a very valuable source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12 and vitamin D, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, phosphorus and other essential micro-nutrients, minerals and amino acids, which is why it is recommended for regular consumption.

To eat quail egg as part of a healthy diet, it is recommended to be consumed raw. A lot of people might not like the idea but to make the taste more pleasant, mix it with orange or tomato juice.

In order to strengthen the immune system and improve the blood quality, a course of 60 eggs is recommended, with an initial intake of three, then five eggs a day to be consumed. Obviously, no one is suggesting that quail egg is any kind of a wonder-medicine and that it will cure serious illnesses like cancer, but its positive effect on human body has been proven.

Quail egg is considered to be one of the best known natural treatment products. Chinese medical practitioners have been using quail egg as a treatment for hundreds of years with brilliant results. As quail egg is slowly becoming an easy to get product on the market, more and more people are beginning to show interest in its use as an active natural medicine instead of conventional medicines with so many side effects.

Experts in natural treatment methods claim that quail egg has positive effects on people with stress problems, hypertension, digestive disturbance, gastric ulcer, liver problems, blood pressure and lipid control, migraine, asthma, anaemia, various types of allergies, eczema, heart problems, bronchitis illnesses, depression, anxiety and panic.

Quail egg is also known to stimulate growth, increase sexual appetite, stimulate brain functions thus improving intelligence quotient and generally rejuvenates the body. It is a gem of nature, given to heal humans. As a healing food with dietary qualities, it was much appreciated during ancient times. Quail egg is small (between 10 and12 gms), but it is packed with many substances needed to keep the body healthy. It is an abundant source of useful trace elements and vitamins.

Studies show that it contains 13 per cent proteins while chicken egg provides a bit more than 11 per cent. It also contains 140 per centu03BCg vitamins B1 compared to 50 per centu03BCg in chicken egg. Also, it contains twice as much vitamins A and B2.

Quail egg provides five times as much iron and potassium as chicken eggs. It also contains more phosphorus and calcium. It does not cause allergy and diathesis. What is more, it can help to fight allergy symptoms due to the ovomucoid protein that is even used in the production of some anti-allergic drugs. Regular consumption of quail egg would boost the immune system.

Here are some additional benefits of eating quail egg:

It helps acquire a strong immune system and improved metabolism.

It helps in healing gastritis, ulcer.

It increases haemoglobin level as well as helps to remove heavy metals and toxins from blood.

I'm used to buy the eggs for my mum which she takes everyday and has proven to be beneficial for her health. Every health complaints almost disappeared within two weeks of use, all those age related sicknesses were subdued and she has a better health up till this month. It was also recommended to my wife. I can't really say this is how it looks like; but its smaller than the normal eggs with patches of mixed colours (say black, grey and white) around the shell. It used to be 30 in a crate (that's a small white perforated plastic used to package food in most hotels and restaurant). The best os to get it directly from the farmer. Quail egg is good for everyone but it must be gotten from a reputable source and stored properly. You can google it to know more about its health benefits. See attached images.
