5 REASONS TO CONSUME EGGS

There are countless reasons to consume eggs, especially if you look at their nutritional composition. We will highlight 5 of them, which seem to us more than enough to attest to the benefits of this food.

The egg yolk, being rich in choline, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, is directly associated with good neurological functioning, as well as with the reduction of the effects of memory loss, caused by old age.

The large amount of protein (1 egg contains 10% of the daily requirements for an adult), together with the nine essential amino acids present in the egg (our body cannot produce the essential amino acids present in the egg) guarantee excellent results in strengthening and building muscle . Intake of eggs is excellent in preventing eye degeneration, reducing the risk of developing cataracts, thanks to the lutein and zeaxanthin found in the egg.

The high concentration of vitamin D and phosphorus in eggs makes it a strong ally in strengthening bones and teeth. Vitamin D and zinc help to improve our body's immunity. That said, what are you waiting for to change your eating habits and increase your egg intake?
