Benefits of eggs..... One egg contains about 6 grams of high quality protein, so high that it is used as the standard by which other foods are measured. Eggs are also a rich source of vitamins, including A, E, K and a range of B vitamins such as B12 (energy), riboflavin and folic acid. Eggs also contain all eight essential amino acids needed for optimal muscle recovery and building valuable minerals like calcium, zinc and iron. #PREVENT BREAST CANCER In one study, women who consumed at least six eggs per week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%. #HAIR AND NAILS Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. #BRAIN, NERVOUS SYSTEM AND CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline, a nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system and cardiovascular system. #EYE HEALTH Eggs are great for the eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent macular degeneration due to the carotenoid content, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Both nutrients are more readily available to our bodies from eggs than from other sources.
