7 Reasons You Need To Eat More Eggs

You may have heard the saying that too much of anything isn’t a good thing. This used to be the case for eggs, who received a bad reputation a few years back for being unhealthy and for containing a large amount of cholesterol.

It is true that an average egg contains anywhere between 180 to 186mg of cholesterol. Now, some may not know this, but your body produces cholesterol on its own: somewhere between 1,000mg to 2,000mg each day. Your body adjusts itself when you eat foods that contain cholesterol. Therefore, eggs do not increase the amount of cholesterol in your body.

In today’s video we will discuss the benefits of eating eggs.

1. Cholesterol

Let’s begin right with the cholesterol, since that is the greatest argument that people have against eggs. Yet, eggs have high-density lipoproteins that are essential to your brain and your body. They keep every cell in your body stable and help you to produce vitamin D and hormones.

Eggs keep your good cholesterol high and your bad cholesterol low. While eggs have been shown to increase the chance of developing a cardiovascular disease in diabetics, they are relatively healthy to consume.

A better way to control your cholesterol levels is to eat a healthy diet and live a healthy lifestyle.

2. Nutrients

Eggs contain a vast amount of nutrients. Specifically, they contain Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin folate, Iron, Phosphorous, Magnesium, and Selenium. Eggs really do give you a nutrient packed kick, showing why you should consume them on a regular basis.

3. Benefits Eyes

Eggs have nutrients that are beneficial to your vision health, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients can reduce the chances of getting age-related macular degeneration, which can lead you to becoming blind in your older age. Another nutrient, carotenoids, increase your ability to see in the night, decreases your chance of developing cataracts by at least 50%. They also protect your eyes from the harmful damage of the sun.

4. Choline

Eggs also contain an important nutrient that is called choline, which helps in the proper function of your brain, development of your brain and the function of your memory. It is often recommended by doctors that pregnant women take choline supplements to avoid any developmental troubles to their newborn baby.

Something like 90% of American citizens do not get enough choline, which makes them prone to muscle damage and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

5. Helps Bones

Not surprisingly, eggs also are packed with nutrients that help to maintain and build strong bones while maintaining proper density of the bones. Eggs contain Calcium and Vitamin D. Vitamin D is necessary to help the body absorb Calcium. Meanwhile, Calcium is important for your body to be able to clot blood, signal your nervous system and contract your muscles.

6. Builds Muscles

Did you know that two eggs have as much protein in them as just one serving of meat, without any of the fat and acid that comes along with it. Sometimes, you will see that many diets call for just eating egg whites; however, half of the protein in the egg is contained in the yolk. Eating more eggs will help you bulk up in no time.

7. Weight-loss

Eggs are full of nutrients and protein, so they are more filling and satiable. Yet, they are low in the amount of calories that they contain. Eating eggs during breakfast will fill your stomach and make it so that you stay fuller, longer, per The Journal of the American College of Nutrition and The International Journal of Obesity. Eggs can help with weight-loss, your waist size and reducing your body fat index.

So, eggs aren’t bad for you after all. In fact, they are very beneficial to you. Do you eat eggs on a daily basis? Have you reaped their health benefits? Let us know in the comment section.

I just recently had blood work done and my doctor was amazed and shocked and told me that I lowered my overall cholesterol by 20 points, lowered my bad cholesterol, and my good cholesterol was amazing. I used to be so paranoid to eat eggs on a regular basis, I would only eat egg whites because I was fearful about eating yokes. I starting reading and reading and kept finding out that eggs are so beneficial to your health. I now eat two eggs a day and I contribute that to how I lowered all of my numbers. Great video!!!!

A woman just died at age 117, I believe she was Italian, and she said the one thing she did was eat eggs every day for health and longevity.

My grandfather who passed away a few yrs ago had his own small farm, he had pigs, chickens he used to catch his own fish from the river grew his own veg horse shit for compost everything natural, he worked down the coal mines for over 50 plus yrs but he smoked 5 cigarettes a day for 50 yrs then gave them up his only vice, eggs and bacon every morning he died at 99 yrs and that was only because my grandmother passed away 8 months before, hard work and a natural diet goes along way

Finally a non-bot voice. I use to eat them raw when I was a kid like rocky and never got sick. I wouldn't recommend trying it now.

My parents were aware of the chemicals being put in processed foods As a child they fed us plain grown and raised foods. This included eggs or plain oatmeal for breakfast. I was unappreciative of what they were doing for me and complained often as I did not like breakfast as a child. So thanks Mom and Dad, I am trying to be a better person now.

For the last 8 months I have been eating one egg, a slice of cheese and 1/4 avocado everyday for breakfast, (no cereal, breads or other grains or sugars) I have lost 35 pounds and my cholesterol levels are very good. I often add a boiled egg to a salad for lunch or dinner or have one for a snack if I get hungry and am away from home. My eggs are from my own chickens, which I feed soy free and corn free organic Scratch and Peck feed.

Are you saying that Diabetics should not eat eggs due to the chance of developing a cardiovascular disease? And, are you saying eggs are relatively healthy to consume for only those who are not diabetic? I ask these questions because I have a close friend who had bypass surgery 5 years ago and also was diagnosed at the same time with Diabetes. It seems there are often public health announcements for most people, but it can be tricky for those who have had cardiac conditions and diabetics. Thank you for the video.

I make 14 boiled eggs every Sunday in my Instant Pot. I eat two eggs every morning with peanut butter on toast. I don't get hungry again until dinner time.

REALLY GOOD.PEOPLE PRACTICE TURN BACK FOR THE SAKE OF TURNING BACK. NOT FOR THE GOOD, I LOVE THIS VIDEO THAT ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE TO EAT EGGS FOR HEALTH BENEFITS .CAUSE THE FATAL SIDE OF EGGS DOES NOT OUGHTWEIGHT THE BENEFIT SIDE OF EGGS.NOTHING MISSES DANGERS, WE CANNOT CAPITALISE ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE ONLY, THAT MEANS RIGIDITY IN OUR WAY OF THINKING TOWARDS IPORTANCE OF THINGS, AND IF WE DO SO SOME COMMUNITIES WILL VANISH, OR WILL B EIN EXTINCTION.
