EGGS!!!

EGG-CELLENT WAY TO EAT EGGS

Eggs are an all-natural and affordable way to get lots of vitamins and minerals in your diet. The nutrients in eggs can play a huge role in weight management, muscle strength, pregnancy, brain function, eye health, and much more.  The high quality protein that is present in eggs helps you feel fuller longer and stay energized, which aids in a healthy body weight. The protein also helps build muscle strength in most individuals as well as helps prevent muscle loss in middle aged or aging adults. The egg yolks are an excellent source of choline, which is an essential nutrient that contributes to fetal brain development. It also helps decrease the risk of birth defects. Choline also aids in the brain function of adults by maintaining the structure of brain cell membranes, which are a key component in relaying messages from the brain to the muscles. Lastly eggs contain two major antioxidants that are primarily found in the yolk that help prevent macular degeneration, a leading cause of age related blindness. Now, since you know the benefits egg can have in a diet I want to inform you the different ways you can cook an egg.
