Wellness Wednesday: Benefits of Eggs

I love eating eggs for breakfast a lot and a lot of people have told me that it isnt a healthy thing to do and that I run the risk of health problems. But what I found weird is that the people that tell me that are the same people that seemingly get sick a lot more than I do and even more weird is that they tend to be more on the heavier side than I do. So out of curiosity I did a little research into the topic and found a lot of surprising things from very reliable health resources.

I have found that there are a lot of myths revolving around the eggs and I had pleasantly discovered that consumption of these things has a lot of health benefits. Below are the list of the things that I have discovered.

1) Vitamin A - This vitamin is good for skin and growth.

2) Vitamin D – is involved in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and is necessary for bone health.

3) Vitamin E - Protects cells from oxidation.

4) Vitamin B Eggs also contain many essential minerals like phosphorus, essential for healthy teeth and bones, as well as iron, which is essential for red blood cell formation and zinc, for the normal function of the immune system.
