Eggs are the perfect protein and fat. The benefits are numerous due to the wide variety of nutrients and in the perfect ratio for humans.
With fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, eggs are very important for a well functioning body and brain. Most people are deficient in one or all of them. Eggs have B complex, minerals, very useable protein and fat. They have been unjustly demonized. Although egg yolks are relatively high in cholesterol, numerous studies have confirmed that eggs have virtually nothing to do with raising your cholesterol. “For instance, research published in the International Journal of Cardiology showed that, in healthy adults, eating eggs every day did not produce a negative effect on endothelial function (an aggregate measure of cardiac risk); nor did it increase cholesterol levels.” (Mercola.com)
It’s time to crack it open and enjoy the health benefits of this wonderful food.
When you shop for eggs, be sure to purchase good quality eggs. Free range, organic raised chickens will produce healther eggs. The yolks of these eggs will be bright orange instead of pale yellow. Organic eggs contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the beneficial ratio of one to one.
