4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD EAT MORE EGGS
The egg has been demonized due to its high cholesterol
content and so many of its health benefits have been
ignored. Eggs are nature's perfect food as they're packed
with high quality proteins, fatty acids and vitamins. They
have a bit of all the nutrient our body needs.
Here are 4 reasons why should add more eggs to your
diet.
1. Boost brain power.
Eggs are commonly known as brain's super food. They
contain nutrients that boosts brain power like omega-3
fatty acids, vitamin B 12, vitamin D and choline. Choline is
a macro nutrient that's essential for normal brain
development and nerve function. It plays an important role
in improving memory and cognitive power as well as
maintaining a healthy metabolism. Omega-3 fatty acids
help to increase brain volume. Vitamin D which is found in
few foods works as a modulator in brain development. Lack
of vitamin B12 on the other hand leads to brain shrinkage
which is a predecessor to Alzheimer's disease and
dementia.
2. Healthy eyes.
Eggs contain two antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin
which are important for eye health and prevent common eye
problems like cataracts and macular degeneration (an age
related cause of blindness). The antioxidants in eggs also
strengthens the retina and protects the eyes from free
radicals and the sun's UV rays.
3. Maintain Body Weight.
Eating eggs for breakfast seems to be especially
beneficial for weight loss. One whole egg contains about 77
calories, 6g of protein and 5g of healthy fats. This low
calorie, high protein food has the ability to suppress hunger
and make you automatically consume less calories for up
to 24 hours. Furthermore, eggs for breakfast causes a more
stable blood glucose and insulin response. Eggs would
ultimately boost your weight loss results over a long term.
4. Get Your Vitamins
Eggs are a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin
B12, phosphorus, selenium and folate. They also contain a
decent amount of calcium and zinc. Calcium is important
for strong bones, zinc and selenium play an important role
in pregnancy and child development. These nutrients are
important for normal growth, development, and proper
functioning of the body.
How any eggs can you safely eat?
Common recommendations would be a maximum of 2-6
eggs per week. However, there really isn't much scientific
back up for these limitations. Eating 3 eggs or even more
per day is perfectly safe. Studies have shown that eggs
have little or no effect on the total cholesterol levels in the
body. Let me explain this..
The body has a way of making sure we have enough
'good' cholesterol and most times we don't get enough from
diet. When we take in less cholesterol, the liver produces
cholesterol as a way of compensating. However, if we eat
more cholesterol, the liver produces less of it. So
consuming 'healthy' cholesterol doesn't affect the total
cholesterol in the body.

An egg a day keeps the doctor away, but trust me that is the barest minimum.
