In the past, doctors demonized egg consumption because it can raise cholesterol. Today, science has reversed course and recommends eating at least two or three eggs a day.

This food is wonderful for our health, as it contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidant properties. We’ve put together a list of the benefits enjoyed by those who eat eggs.

Note:
1. Reduces cancer risk.
According to a study published in the journal “Breast Cancer Research,” eating eggs every day can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 18%.

Eggs contain amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that stabilize estrogen levels.

For those who don’t know, this hormone is often the cause of breast cancer.

2. Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Eggs  contain up to 40 grams of HDL ( good ) cholesterol which can prevent numerous cardiovascular diseases .​               

As  we  said  at the beginning  of the article ,  doctors  believed that eggs increased the levels of cholesterol in our blood , but this is not true .​ ​                

Most  of it is produced by our body and regulates cholesterol  levels  by itself .​ ​​​             

The Louisiana Biomedical Research Center in the United States has demonstrated this.

The study involved 152 overweight volunteers.

These people were divided into three groups:
1st group: ate nothing for breakfast
2nd group: ate 2 eggs for breakfast
3rd group: ate bread for breakfast
The discovery was incredible: the group that ate eggs lost 75% more weight and 35% more belly fat than the others.

Furthermore, there was no change in the cholesterol levels of these people.

Another interesting fact is that the high amount of omega-3s present in eggs can reduce triglyceride levels, preventing cardiovascular problems.

3. Improves eyesight

Eggs are an extraordinary food for our eyesight.

This is because the yolk contains vitamin A, lutein and zeaxanthin.

While vitamin A is essential for improving dark vision, lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants that prevent free radical damage, strengthening and preventing vision problems.

4. Protects the brain
Eggs contain choline, which is an essential nutrient for our brain.

Choline is a neurotransmitter that sends stimuli to the brain and nervous system.

5. Slows the aging process.
In addition to preventing skin cancer, regularly eating eggs slows the aging process, thanks to organic pigments such as carotenoids.

But don’t think that any way of consuming eggs is effective, they must be hard-boiled, as this way they contain more carotenoids.

6. Reduce the risk of birth defects

Eggs contain 0.7 mcg of vitamin B9 (folic acid), which is recommended for pregnant women as it reduces the risk of birth defects and prevents damage to the embryo’s nervous system.

Few foods are as rich in vitamin B9 as eggs.
That’s why it’s essential to consume it daily.

7. Improves liver, skin and hair health
Egg yolk contains protein and sulfur that can revitalize weak hair.

It also improves skin quality.

And there’s more: the yolk contains lecithin, a substance that helps liver health by detoxifying it and improving digestion.

8. It helps you lose weight.
If you need to lose weight, you should eat more eggs.

Eggs can satisfy your food cravings, helping you lose your appetite.

9. Maintains healthy bones

Eggs  are rich in vitamin D and calcium , two important nutrients for bones and teeth .​              

Now  you can  go back  to  eating  eggs  regularly ,  as  they are  great  for  our  overall  health  .

However ,  try  to  consume  organic eggs  from free – range and backyard chickens .​​       

And  if   you  have  diabetes or  heart problems  , three eggs a week is enough .
