Daily eating of eggs enriches the body with vitamins and minerals and prevents the development of certain diseases.
Eggs are a natural source of vitamins : B2, which is related to the conversion of nutrients into energy; B12, responsible for the production of red blood cells; vitamin A for eyesight and vitamin E, which fights free radicals in the human body.
They also contain large amounts of iron and zinc, which support the immune system, as well as phosphorus for healthy bones. In addition, eggs are rich in selenium, iodine, vitamin D and other trace elements .
Eggs are rich in lutein , a yellow pigment concentrated in the retina of the eye. Lutein protects the eyes from macular degeneration, which is one of the main causes of vision loss. It is found in the yolk and prevents the development of eye diseases. Thanks to it, the eyes are protected from harmful light emitted by mobile devices, tablets and computers.
Eggs are an ideal breakfast food, as they satiate and slow down hunger longer than eating cereals. People who consume eggs in the morning recharge their bodies, feel full and eat less during the rest of the day. One egg contains the recommended daily dose of B2 , which converts nutrients into energy.
Loss of muscle mass can make a person feel weak and reduce his physical endurance. Due to the high protein content in eggs, a person quickly recovers muscles after a workout.
One large egg contains about 6 grams of protein , three grams in the yolk and the rest in the egg white.
Women who eat at least 6 eggs a week are 44% more likely to develop breast cancer than those who eat less often each week.
Choline, which is contained in the yolk, reduces the risk of breast cancer, and even the consumption of only two eggs for breakfast, provides the body with half the dose of choline per day.
