Eggs: The Natural Nutritional Powerhouse

Based Nutrition

One of the hottest topics of discussion these days is an unlikely one... eggs and egg prices. After years of inflation, eggs are among products that have increased in price the most. However, despite this rise in cost, eggs still remain some of the most nutritious foods we humans can consume. They have a laundry list of benefits when consumed on a regular basis, making them well worth the premium we have been paying.

If the prices have been making you skip adding eggs to your grocery cart, there's good news, egg prices have been falling, making now the a perfect time to add them back into your diet.

Eggs: Another Natural Multivitamin

Eggs are a staple in many diets around the world, and for good reason. Not only are they versatile and delicious, but they also pack a powerful nutritional punch. Despite the constant attacks by none other than the medical industry for their high cholesterol content, eggs being bad for your health couldn't be further from the truth. Today, we're going to dive into the nutritional facts about eggs and dispel any rumors out there on why they're bad for you.

Protein Powerhouse

One of the most important macronutrients a human being can consume is protein. Without it, not only will your muscles struggle to maintain their health and composition, it also acts as a catalyst for many of the body's necessary biochemical reactions, maintains proper pH, and bolsters the immune system.

The main feature of eggs is that they are an excellent source of high-quality protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that the body needs. In fact, a single large egg provides about 6-7 grams of protein, making it an ideal choice for those looking to increase their protein intake. But that's not all...

Rich in Essential Nutrients

In addition to being a rich source of protein, eggs have a long list of essential vitamins and nutrients the body needs.

Cholesterol, which helps the body maintain healthy hormone production, is one of these key nutrients. Eggs are also rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as minerals like iron and zinc. These nutrients play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including immune support, bone health, and energy production.

Heart-Healthy Fats

Contrary to popular belief, eggs are not detrimental to heart health. In fact, they are a good source of healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health. The majority of the fat in eggs is unsaturated, making them a heart-healthy choice.

However, up until recently, we were told by the "experts" that eggs are not good for you and should only be eaten in moderation. The reality? You should be eating eggs everyday as a way to naturally get the protein, vitamins, and minerals your body needs in order to live a happy, healthy life.

Choline Content

Eggs are one of the best dietary sources of choline, a nutrient that is essential for brain health and development. Choline plays a key role in neurotransmitter function and helps maintain the structure of cell membranes. A single egg can provide about 25% of the recommended daily intake of choline.

Choline serves many functions in the body. To name a few, it helps maintain integrity of cellular structure, cellular messaging, fat transport and metabolism, DNA synthesis, as well as a healthy nervous system.

Low in Calories

Despite their nutritional density, eggs are relatively low in calories. A single large egg contains only about 70 calories, making them a great option for those looking to manage their weight or calorie intake. The combination of protein and healthy fats in eggs can also help promote feelings of fullness and satiety.

Next time you reach for a quick and nutritious meal or snack, consider incorporating eggs into your diet. With their impressive nutritional profile and health benefits, eggs are a versatile and affordable superfood that can support your overall well-being.
