12 awesome benefits of eating eggs by ikbnice(m): 6:03pm On Jan 19, 2016
Eggs are extremely healthy food, so it is highly
advisable to include them in your daily menu.
Here are 12 most important reasons to do so:

1.Eggs Can Save Life:
Many do not know that the human body
can produce eleven essential amino acids,
necessary to sustain life, but it needs nine more,
so can you guess where can you find the rest?
In eggs, indeed! A lack of those 9 amino acids
can lead to muscle wasting, decreased the
immune response, weakness, fatigue, and
changes to the texture of your skin and hair.

2. Improve Cholesterol Profile:
We all know some the main things concerning
cholesterol, that it can be bad if high, that there
are two types of cholesterol: good and bad, and
that eggs contain cholesterol in large amounts.

3. Boost Immune System:
An egg in the day can help prevent
infections, diseases and viruses. Namely, eggs
include around a quarter (about 22 percent) of RDA of selenium, a nutrient that boosts immune system and regulates the thyroid
hormones.

4. Reduce The Risk Of Heart Diseases:
LDL cholesterol is ‘bad’ cholesterol, since LDL
particles broadcast their fat molecules into artery
walls, and drive atherosclerosis, mainly botching
the arteries.

5. Improve the brain function:
The essential nutrient called choline found in eggs
provides their nutritive value and power. It is a
component of cell membranes and is needed for
the acetylcholine synthesis.

6. Eggs lead to healthy teeth and bones:
Being one of the rare natural sources of Vitamin
D, eggs are extremely beneficial for the health of
the bones and teeth, as they strengthen them.
They help the calcium absorption, which is crucial
for the healthy function of the heart, colon and
metabolism.

7. Eggs can improve hair and skin:
B-complex vitamins are crucial for the healthy
condition and appearance of your skin, hair, eyes,
and liver, and eggs are abundant in B2 and
B12. They also maintain the proper brain function.

8. Great for healthy eyes:
Two antioxidants, found in the egg yolk, lutein
and zeaxanthin, protect the eyes and promote
eye health.
These antioxidants significantly decrease the risk
of macular degeneration and cataracts, which are
among the major reasons for blindness and
vision impairment in the case of older people.

9. Eggs can help you lose weight:
Eggs are known to be very useful in the process
of melting fat and losing excess pounds. The
major reason for this may be the fact that they
provide a longer feeling of fullness.

10. You’ll Feel Fuller And Eat Less:
They are so rich source of quality protein, that all
other sources of protein are measured compared
to eggs. Many studies have demonstrated the
effect of high-protein foods on appetite. In other
words, they take the edge off. On a scale called
the Satiety Index, which estimates how much
foods contribute to the feeling of fullness, eggs
score pretty high.

11. Eggs Eliminate stress and anxiety:
The deficiency of the nine amino acids that can be
found in eggs can affect the mental health.
According to a study from 2004, published in
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
potentially by adjusting serotonin in the nervous
system, diets containing lysine greatly decreased
anxiety and stress levels.

12. Eggs provide much energy:
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is part of
the eight B-group vitamins. These vitamins are
extremely beneficial for the body, as they
promote the energy production, by converting
the consumed food into fuel. Namely, an egg
contains 15 percent of your RDA of vitamin B2!
Apart from energizing your body, eggs enter the
list of 25 best foods for a nice toned body.
