Eggs are among the few foods that I would classify as “superfoods.”
They are loaded with nutrients, some of which are rare in the modern diet.
Here are 10 health benefits of eggs that have been confirmed in human studies.
1. Eggs Are Incredibly Nutritious
Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet.
A whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a
single cell into a baby chicken.
A single large boiled egg contains (1 ):
Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA.
Folate: 5% of the RDA.
Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA.
Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA.
Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA.
Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA.
Selenium: 22% of the RDA.
Eggs also contain decent amounts of Vitamin D,
Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium and Zinc.
This is coming with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5
grams of healthy fats .
Eggs also contain various other trace nutrients that are
important for health.
Really… eggs are pretty much the perfect food, they
contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need.
If you can get your hands on pastured or Omega-3
enriched eggs, then these are even better . They have
more Omega-3s and are much higher in Vitamin A and
E
