We bet you're cringing right now but don't be so hard on those poor eggs. You might be missing more benefits than you realize we will crack the miss behind eggs especially the egg yolks plus by the end of this article we'll let you know what will happen if you eat three eggs a day. But let's set aside the misconceptions for now. Imagine how a single cell turned into a healthy baby chicken for this to happen an egg must be packed with life-giving nutrients. Save that amazing fact for later use and hit the subscribe button.
First, we'll tell you how an egg is loaded with amazing stuff. It contains
⦁ calories
⦁ protein
⦁ healthy fats
⦁ zinc
⦁ calcium
⦁ phosphorus
⦁ selenium
⦁ folate and
⦁ vitamins A, B5, B12, B2, D, E, K, and B6
So what are we talking about? Again is this about multivitamins? Nope, these vitamins and nutrients can be found in an egg and it's cheaper than all those pricey supplements. You've heard that eggs particularly the yolks contain an insane
amount of cholesterol, but did you know that cholesterol is not entirely bad?
According to the website medical news today it can be found in every cell in your body. Yeah, this waxy and fat-like substance plays an important role in digestion and vitamin D production. It also helps generate steroid hormones like testosterone estrogen and cortisol.
Note: It has two types.
1. Low-density lipoproteins or LDL also known as bad cholesterol and
2. High-density lipoproteins or HDL the good cholesterol
The American Heart Association explains the difference between the two:
LDL contributes to fatty build ups and arteries or the process known as arteriosclerosis and increases the risk for heart attack stroke and peripheral artery disease.
On the other hand, HDL knocks out LDL by taking it away from the arteries and dumping it on the liver
To break it down and annihilate it completely the American Heart Association didn't define HDL in that streetfighter style but you get the gist so the more HDL and the less LDL you have the better. But what type of cholesterol will you find in an egg? Is
it HDL? Nope. Oh No! Then it's LDL? Nope again. Huh if an egg contains neither
good nor bad cholesterol, then what's going on? Eggs contain omega-3 fatty acids and dietary cholesterol but before you throw away your precious eggs we'll explain everything.
First omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats. Yes the National Heart Foundation of Australia said that omega-3 fatty acids
⦁ can lower your heart rate and rhythm
⦁ decrease the risk of clotting
⦁ reduce blood pressure levels
⦁ improve blood vessel function
⦁ and delay the build-up of plaque in coronary arteries
Pretty cool huh. In the case of dietary cholesterol, several studies proved that eggs don't increase the risk of heart disease
According to health line it seems that both eggs and cholesterol are victims of bad press but they're actually good guys well except for LDL.
Now that we've shown you that eggs are innocent, what are the benefits you can
get from them?
1. Eggs keep you full and help with weight loss: These two are connected one of the characteristics of filling foods or foods that satiate hunger is that they're rich in protein a large egg contains about 6 grams of quality protein which may help you eat less for several hours after a meal as a result this helps you lose weight because you're satiated and can avoid impromptu trips to the fridge when you're feeling hungry no offense to bagel lovers but a study showed that an egg breakfast enhances weight loss more than a bagel breakfast.
2. Eggs improve eye health: After this you'll see egg yolks in a new and positive light.

Wow eggs were really underestimated and wrongly viewed by many people. Come to think of it eggs are not the culprit we should be looking more closely at the food we partner eggs with that's swimming in saturated and trans fats. For example eggs with ham bacon or hot dogs this is what the National Heart Foundation of Australia observe and they recommend matching your eggs with a healthy option but keep in mind that not all eggs are the same. How can you choose the right egg? This is a tricky one health line says there are four types of eggs and they are organized based on where the hen is raised and fed.
1. Conventional eggs: The hens are fed grain and their eggs can be found in supermarkets.
2. Organic eggs: The chickens are fed organically and not treated with hormones.
3. Pastured eggs: The hens are free to roam and eat natural foods like plants and insects.
4. Omega-3 enriched eggs: The chickens feed is mixed with flax seeds a source of omega-3.
Which will you choose? We'd love to hear your opinion on this. Are you clueless? That's alright because we'll help you rank the eggs starting from the least healthy one. < means "less values than"
conventional < organic < omega-3 < pastured
If you can't find the last three then it's fine to go to your nearest supermarket to buy eggs. Should you be conscious about how you
cook your eggs? Since there is a standard regarding the right type of eggs the United States Department of Agriculture or USDA says that it's okay to poach, bake, scramble, hard boil, and fry eggs. Also make sure the yolks are firm while cooking.
How about the debate between white and brown eggs? Which one is healthier is there any difference between them?
Well are you familiar with this pattern brown rice, brown sugar? So brown eggs are best but did you know that there are blue or blue green eggs? Whoa going back to our question of brown eggs or white eggs. The truth is that it doesn't matter. Brown and white eggs have the same nutritional value according to the USDA who debunked all previous myths on this matter.
Let's now tackle our big question. What will happen if you eat three eggs a day? It's now clear that eggs are good for your health. But how much
can you eat in one day? What is the standard or ideal number of eggs? A study from the Department of nutritional sciences at the University ofConnecticut revealed that a person who consumes three eggs a day may experience more of an increase in good cholesterol and decrease in bad cholesterol than someone who eats the same amount of egg substitute. That is so great!
The UK National Health Service says there is no recommended limit meaning eat all you.
can?
On the other hand the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests a maximum of 12 eggs per week.
The National Heart Foundation of Australia limits it to six or seven eggs each week.
Regardless of the number the message is clear it is safe and healthy to eat eggs. According to several health authorities and institutions eggs have been unjustly demonized for many years whether by commercialization or poor research.
