Eggs are unquestionably one of the most nutrient-dense foods, as they are high in a variety of nutrients. Scientists believe that it should be classified as superfoods due to their unique nutritional profile and values.
The nutritional profile of eggs is so impressive that it is frequently recommended that one egg be consumed daily. A single large boiled egg contains essential nutrients such as vitamin A, folate, vitamin B5, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, phosphorus, and selenium.
In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at 5 things that would happen in your body, when you eat egg daily.
1. It would increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol in your body
The “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and the “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are the two types of cholesterol (LDL). Despite its high cholesterol content, eating an egg every day can help boost your good cholesterol. This is critical if you want to lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues.
2. It would supply your body with choline, (an important nutrient)
Choline is a nutrient that the human body needs to build cell membranes and that plays an important role in the production of signalling molecules in the brain. Most people do not get enough of this nutrient, and the consequences of a deficiency are always severe. Fortunately, eating an egg every day can help prevent its deficiency.
3. It would improve your vision even as you age
Ageing is an irreversible human phenomenon that brings with it a slew of health issues, one of which is poor eyesight. Regular consumption of egg yolks, on the other hand, can help mitigate this due to their high content of Lutein and Zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that accumulate in the retina and have significant benefits for eye health by lowering the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. It is also high in vitamin A, which is important for vision.
4. It would help in weight loss, increase muscle mass, lower blood pressure, and improve bone health
Because eggs contain high levels of quality protein and essential amino acids, consuming it regularly is guaranteed to provide the above-mentioned health benefits. Proteins are the building blocks of the human body, and eggs contain plenty of them. It is also incredible in that they contain all of the essential amino acids that the body requires.
5. Egg would help you lose weight by lowering your calories consumption
