Eggs are a valuable source of nutrients and can be safely included in your diet. They contain many of the nutrients our bodies need to function properly. Let’s see how eggs can be incorporated into your diet:
1. Eggs are a rich source of protein. Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair, skin and hair health.
2. Eggs contain important accompanying substances such as vitamins (A, D, E, K, B12) and minerals (iron, zinc, phosphorus) that are important for health.
3. Eggs contain, mainly in the yolk, beneficial fatty acids.
4. Although eggs contain cholesterol, many studies have shown that egg consumption is not necessarily associated with high blood cholesterol levels for the majority of people. However, people with high cholesterol or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease may need to limit their consumption.
5. Eggs are low in calories, containing about 70-80 calories per egg based on size.
Overall, eggs can be incorporated into a healthy eating plan as part of a balanced eating plan. However, it is important to consider your personal nutritional needs and the recommendations of your doctor or dietician.
