Do you believe that an egg yolk a day keeps the doctor away? Personally, I grew up believing that eating eggs everyday is not good for my health. That's what mother had told me. But now I have read and learned that two or three eggs a day is very beneficial. The goodness of the egg is in the yolk. Egg yolks are full of important nutrients. It contains almost all the vitamins and minerals in egg. A typical egg contains around 1.3 grams of phospholipids, and most of that is in the yolk. A phospholipid is a type of fat important for building cell membranes. Egg phospholipids have benefits for… Cardiovascular health. Metabolic health. Memory and cognitive function Egg yolks have antioxidants too. In 2005, a study showed that women eating at least six eggs per week had a 44 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer than women who ate two or fewer eggs each week.
