Experts have warned that the yolks in eggs are high in cholesterol and fat which can fuel cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
Absurd!!
There have been various articles in recent weeks claiming ‘eating just 3 eggs a week increases your risk of dying young, study shows’ which is patently ridiculous (Unless they were eating a Cadbury’s cream egg everyday that is!) There is no way that eating 3 eggs a week will have a negative impact on your health.
With their exceptionally high satiety index, eggs can make help you feel fuller for longer. One medium sized egg comes with approx. 6gms of high quality protein along with a variety of natural nutrients required by the body (and ZERO carbs!)
For people who are diabetic or overweight eggs are a staple to keep their blood glucose and carb consumption low, without them, many people can feel limited.
Eggs contain numerous micronutrients, such as lutein and choline. Lutein protects you against disease, and choline is thought to improve brain health. Egg yolks contain biotin, which is important for healthy hair, skin, and nails, as well as insulin production.
Scrambled? Poached? Hard-boiled? However you like your eggs, try to eat plenty of these versatile wonders each week and take advantage of their protein, healthy fat and the absence of carbohydrate that they contain. Remember, eggs are healthful and harmless, but how they are prepared and what they are served with can have a huge impact on how your blood sugars react. Adding bread and ketchup into the mix will make render your healthy meal unhealthy, but a four-egg omelette with spinach is but one example of a perfect breakfast, high in micronutrients and low in calories.
