THE GOODNESS OF EGGS 

Most people nowadays became so afraid to eat eggs , believing that eggs can bring harmful diseases to them. They always have doubts thinking what eggs can do . They always think and ask do eggs are healthy or not .

Recent studies shows that eggs are very nutritious. they proved that eggs an't harm you and it doesn't cause anything to your health and body. It's not true that eggs increases the risk of heart disease and other harmful diseases because research proves that the study which promotes that eggs are causing risk isn't known until nowadays.

So , let us findout how eggs can help us and what it can do to give us a healthy body and living 

*THE  GOOD  FOOD 

Eggs are proven very nutritious like what I have said before.Research claims that eggs contains all essential vitamins that our body really needs. Also , it contains nutrients that is essential in our modern diet. These are the table showing the vitamins inside the eggs.

Vitamin A -     6 %

Vitamin B2 -  15%

Vitamin B5 -   7%

Vitamin B12 - 9 %

Folate -          5%

Phosphorus -  9 % 

Selenium -      22%

Also , Vitamins D , E , K and B6 , Calcium and Zinc are included in the list . 

* PASTURED EGGS AS OMEGA-3 EGGS

Study shows that pastured eggs are rich in omega-3, which is known for reducing blood levels and good for the heart.

* EGGS PREVENTS THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE 

Eggs tend to have higher dose of Omega-3, so it lowers the chance of having heart disease. It is proved that eggs have the good cholesterol which is HDL (High Density Lipoprotein ) that helps usually to have low risk of heart problems and diseases , stroke and other health problems. 

*EGGS CONTAIN CHOLINE : THE BRAIN VITAMIN 

Choline is an essential nutrient in the production of most important structural building blocks of a living cell .It is also the backbone of a nervous system  because it produces signal molecules to the brain . It is a chemical similar and grouped with B - vitamins . 

*EGGS HAVE THE ANTIOXIDANTS FOR THE EYES

-Good nutrition is important to keep your eyes healthy and functioning . So Eggs can help you get a good nutrition . Egg yolks have the 2 most important nutrients that may reduce your risk for blindness and cataracts. These are the lutein and zeaxanthin. In research published in Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, the study authors conclude that lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin filter short-wavelength light and prevent or reduce the generation of free radicals in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid. They also suggest that a mixture of these carotenoids is more effective than any one of the individual carotenoids at the same total concentration.So these 2 nutrients really helps you protect and keep your eyes healthy.

*EGGS CONTAIN AMINO ACIDS AND PROTEIN

Proteins are about 50% of the dry weight of most cells, and are the most structurally complex macromolecules known. Each type of protein has its own unique structure and function. Amino acids  are any kind of large molecules made of repeating identical or similar subunits called monomers. The starch and cellulose we previously discussed are polymers of glucose, which in that case, is the monomer. Proteins are polymers of about 20 amino acids (the monomer).In the approximately-20 amino acids found in our bodies, what varies is the side chain. Some side chains are hydrophilic while others are hydrophobic. Since these side chains stick out from the backbone of the molecule, they help determine the properties of the protein made from them. 

Eggs are a great source of protein . For a healthier option, eat only the egg white. Ensure that you know whether egg whites still contain enough amino acids to be a good source of protein despite the absence of the yolk.

*RAW EGGS CONTAIN ANTI-AGING ANTIOXIDANTS

It is well known that eggs contain a powerful amount of protein and essential lipids, but new research has found that they also contain antioxidant properties that are known to prevent cardiovascular disease as well as cancer. Researchers from the University of Alberta determined that egg yolks in their raw state contain almost twice as many antioxidant properties as an apple and about the same as half a serving of cranberries

Another important factor is that the egg yolk is consumed along with the egg white. Researchers found that the yolks contained tryptophan and tyrosine, two amino acids with high antioxidant properties. Organically raised hens, which are fed high quality diets rich in vitamins and minerals, will also produce higher quality eggs, which will subsequently be loaded with more essential nutrients. 

Tyrosine and Typtophan are two of the 20 amino acids , molecules that are arranged in 

chains to make up protein. The human body reqires both to synthesizaed protein , an 

important component of multiple metabolic functions, but while tyrosine can be both 

manufactured naturally by the body and obtained through the diet , it is also considered as

an anti-aging antioxidant. 

* EGG YOLK AS THE MOST POWERFUL FOOD 

The slew of nutrients in an egg yolk is so comprehensive that a few a day would offer better insurance than a multi-vitamin. Most importantly, the yolk contains most of the nutrients in an egg.

Like most cholesterol-rich foods, they are jam-packed full of important nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.One important set of nutrients that should not be overlooked is the long-chain essential fatty acids. Egg yolks contain the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which is necessary for the brain and proper retinal function in the eye, and the long-chain omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid, which is required for the healthy skin, hair, libido, reproduction, growth and response to injury. 

Eggs yolks contains almost all essential nutrients that would get with an egg . Included are essential fatty acids , omega-3 that is good for the heart, rich source of folate and calcium and vitamins  which our body needs in order to function .This is a proof that eggs can really give us a good health . So do eat eggs from now on and give yourself and your family  a healthy living .
