Getting In Shape Starts At The Grocery Store
7. Eggs
There is always a lot of controversy surrounding eggs so its probably best to check with your doctor about how many you should eat each week, especially if you have cholesterol issues. Like any other healthy food, mix it in with a balanced diet and you are probably OK.
I love that eggs now come in a quart container like milk so I don’t have to mess with shells. I just pour it out. Its a super quick way to get a protein blast in the morning. I often throw in some chopped spinach, onion & green pepper and eat it open face on a slice of wheat toast. Here are some other benefits of eggs besides convenience.
Strong muscles: The protein in eggs helps maintain and repair body tissues, including muscle.
Brain health: Eggs contain vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the brain and the nervous system to function effectively.
Immune system: Vitamin A, B-12, and selenium in eggs are key to keeping the immune system healthy.
Vision: The lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs help prevent macular degeneration, the leading cause of age-related blindness. Other vitamins in eggs also promote good vision.
Weight Loss: The protein in eggs can help people feel full for longer. This can reduce the urge to snack and lower a person’s overall calorie intake.
Healthy Skin: Some vitamins and minerals in eggs help promote healthy skin and prevent the breakdown of body tissues.
