Eggs are a source of protein and have all the essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscle. They are packed with good fats and omega 3 and contain a number of vitamins and minerals such as A, D, E, B12, selenium, folate, and phosphorus. What’s more, eggs have choline, which has positive effect on your brain and your memory.
Consuming an egg or two per day can:
- Help build and maintain muscles
- Boost brain power
- Keep your eyes healthy
- Keep you full longer and help with weight management
- Support your heart and immune system
Eggs can be consumed in a number of ways. Scrambled, boiled, as omelets, sunny-side-up, in salads, in baking to add some extra protein, you name it.
If you can, go for pasture-raised eggs since they usually have more omega-3s and vitamins than the regular kind.
Eggs are safe, healthy, and super easy to cook. They give you protein, good fats, and essential nutrients — all in a few bites. So next time you’re deciding on breakfast, don’t overthink it: crack an egg and enjoy.
