WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT 3 WHOLE EGGS EVERY DAY…YOU’LL BE SURPRISED WHAT IT DOES TO YOUR BODY!

Why eat more eggs?  A few years ago, health organizations issued a warning about the cholesterol contained in eggs. Like many other foods such as coconut oil or avocados, eggs were mistakenly thought to be bad for your health. While the average large egg delivers between 180-186 mg of cholesterol, your liver produces anywhere between 1,000 mg to 2,000 mg each day on its own.

Basically, when you consume foods that contain cholesterol, your liver adjusts itself by decreasing its own production. This means that eating eggs doesn’t increase the existing amounts of cholesterol in your body, you’re simply replacing one type with another.  So would it be a good thing to eat more eggs?

Today, a closer look at this yummy breakfast food really shows 7 reasons why it’s worth incorporating more of it into your diet.

1. NUTRIENTS

When it comes to nutritional value, eggs really give you the best bang for your buck. Loaded with vitamin A, E, B6 and B12, thiamin, riboflavin folate, iron, phosphorous, magnesium, selenium and so much more, it’s hard to find other foods with such a varied nutrient profile

2. CHOLESTEROL

The greatest criticism against eggs is that they contain high levels of cholesterol.

However, eggs contain high-density lipoproteins (HDL) which are actually vital for the body and brain.

HDL provides stability in every cell of your body and helps your body produce vitamin D and hormones like testosterone, estrogen and cortisol .

Unlike low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol), which clings to the walls of your blood vessels, HDL cholesterol scrubs the inner walls of these vessels and prevents atherosclerosis. It also lowers LDL levels and does not contribute to heart disease or stroke in otherwise healthy people, so you can eat as many as you want.  Continue Reading  >> Page 2
