Are eggs the perfect food? Perhaps
[ATTACH]74822[/ATTACH]


Eggs can be a solid choice as part of a healthy, balanced diet. As well as being an excellent source of protein, they also contain much-needed vitamins and minerals. Eggs should become part of your healthy meal plan, and they are quick and relatively easy to make.


For those who avoid egg yolks because of the fat: Yes, an egg’s fat is all in the yolk; but so are the nutrients, which include:


* • 245 IUs of vitamin A

* • 37 IUs of vitamin D

* • 19 mg potassium

* • 25 mcg folate

* • 22 mg calcium*


A large egg yolk also provides 300 mcg of choline, which forms betaine to help lower homocysteine, which is a risk factor for heart disease. Choline also helps make phosphatidylcholine to benefit your liver, nervous system, and brain.*
