10 Health Benefits Of Eating Eggs.
Eggs are once again considered
healthy and beneficial to eat, and
one egg is just 70 calories! Consult
with your doctor before indulging
in eggs due to the high cholesterol
content, but take note of new
research in item # 7 below.
1. An egg a day
may prevent
macular degeneration due to the carotenoid
content.
2. Carotenoid contains lutein and zeaxanthin, both
help lower the risk of developing cataracts.
3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality
protein and all nine essential amino acids.
4. According to a Harvard School of Public Health
study, there is no significant link between egg
consumption and heart disease. In fact, according
to one study, regular consumption of eggs may
help prevent blood clots, strokes and heart attacks.
5. Egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline, a
nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous
system and cardiovascular system.
6. Despite the hoopla of eggs being high in fat, it is
the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams
of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.
7. New research shows that moderate consumption
of eggs does not have a negative impact on
cholesterol. In fact, recent studies have shown that
regular consumption of two eggs per day does not
affect a person’s lipid profile and may, in fact,
improve it. Research suggests that it is saturated
fat that raises cholesterol rather than dietary
cholesterol.
8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain
naturally occurring vitamin D.
9. Eggs may prevent chest cancer. In one study,
women who consumed at least six eggs per week
lowered their risk of chest cancer by 44%.
10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of
their high sulphur content and wide array of
vitamins and minerals.
