Does anyone remember the egg propaganda of the 90′s? Well, it turns out, the egg is pretty incredible and thankfully- it is edible. In recent years, the egg has been through some rough times, it has been believed to be a villain- adding TOO MUCH cholesterol to our diets and inches to the waist. But eggs, yes the whole egg – yolk included, are a little misunderstood. They pack tons of nutritional value and health benefits.

Brain Games
Whole eggs are a great source of choline (30% of your RDA). Choline regulates brain and nervous system function.

Save the Tata’s
According to research, women who consume a high-intake of choline (about 6-8 whole eggs weekly) are 24% less likely to get breast cancer.

Sharpen the Eyes
Packed with antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, egg yolks fend off macular degeneration and lower the risk of cataracts.

Shrink your waist 
A study by Louisiana State University found that obese women who ate two eggs for breakfast five days a week lost 65% more weight than women who had bagels due to the satisfying proteins.

Available Amino 
Eggs are a complete source of protein and packed with amino acids making scrambled or hardboiled eggs an ideal post workout snack.

UV-Free Vitamin D
Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.
