Is the rotten review eggs get unfair? Maybe. Nutritionists are now reconsidering their healthful benefits. Here’s why:
Eggs Support Our Eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent macular degeneration (an age-related disease of the retina that results in a loss of vision) thanks to its high content of the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin. Researchers also found that folks who eat eggs every day lowered their risk of developing cataracts.
Eggs Are Protein-Packed. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids. Plus, they are one of the few foods that contain Vitamin D.
Eggs Are An Excellent Source Of Choline. This nutrient that regulate the brain, nervous and cardiovascular systems and is linked to reduced inflammation in the body. FYI: About 90 percent of Americans are short on it.
Eggs Are Lower In Cholesterol Than You Thought. A new USDA study shows eggs are actually 14 percent lower in cholesterol than previously thought. But if you still need to keep your cholesterol down, use only the egg whites. They have no cholesterol. Or use cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with egg whites. Eating one egg daily fits easily within dietary guidance, which recommends limiting cholesterol consumption to 300 mg per day.
Eggs Keep Us Beautiful. They promote healthy hair and nails thanks to their high sulphur content and concentration of vitamins and minerals.
