The Nutrition in Eggs

Tweet

I enjoy eggs nearly as much as I do potatoes. I have been enjoying a couple of eggs and a variety of fruit for my breakfast. I know they are high quality protein but I was wondering the other day what else in the way of nutrients eggs had in them. In my research I found that they are chuck full of other things as well. They have healthy fats and vitamins A, B2, B5, B12, D, E, and K. They also have folate, phosphorus, selenium, calcium, and zinc. As well as the yolk being particularly rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin, while the white provides most of the protein. So vision, bones, cell health, cell growth, skin, oxygen in the blood, and some cholesterol. Most of the nutrients are found in the yolk so be sure to eat the entire eggs. For most healthy adults eating one or two eggs each day is considered safe. They are also high in cholesterol so those people with cardiovascular issues or high cholesterol need to watch how much they eat. I may cute back a little since I don't want to get tired of them and I do have high cholesterol. I see my doctor next month and will see how my cholesterol is doing at that time. Do you like eggs? Eat a lot of them?
