12 Benefits of Eating Eggs.



Eggs are something we see everyday. It’s so common that we undervalue it not knowing it’s a super food. I’m going to list twelve benefits of making eggs appear in your diet.



1. Eggs are a great source of numerous vitamins, including vitamin A, D, E, K and many B vitamins like folic acid, choline, riboflavin and biotin.

2. Eating eggs every day lower their risk of developing cataracts, also because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs and both nutrients are more available from eggs than other sources.

3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.

4. Tyrosine, an amino acid found in eggs, helped individuals with making quick, knee-jerk responses more than a placebo.

5. They are a good source of choline. One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.



6. They contain the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.

7. Moderate consumption of eggs does not have a negative effect on cholesterol.

8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.

9. Proper consumption of eggs may prevent breast cancer.

10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals.

11. Eggs help cure iron deficiency. The iron in egg yolk is in the form of heme iron, the most readily absorbable and usable form of iron in food.

12. Eggs have high collagen and vitamin A, which not only keeps the skin supple but also helps in treating scars and burns. Eggs helps the skin in maintaining a supple, wrinkle-free skin texture.
