Reasons to eat eggs every day, it is a really superfood!
Eggs are one of the most demonized foods ever. It has gained notoriety due to misinformation about its effect on cholesterol when the truth is that it is as close as possible to a real superfood.
Here are 10 reasons why you should eat eggs every day:
Eggs are good for your cholesterol
It's time to eliminate the myth that eggs are bad for cholesterol. Let's clarify this: those who claim that eggs are high in cholesterol do not give you the full picture. There are good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL).
The ratio of HDL and LDL in food is much more important than its cholesterol content. Eggs increase levels of good cholesterol and help the body manage bad cholesterol. Don't let prejudice stand between you and the natural version of multivitamins.

Choline is a lesser-known nutrient found in eggs and works to improve:

• Motion control
It's ideal to get 550 mg of choline a day, and 90% of people fail to do so. One egg contains approximately 150 mg of choline on its own!

Foods are ranked based on their protein content, and eggs get an ideal score of 100. Other foods are measured to see how close they are to the protein density of eggs. This means that eggs are a great food for anyone trained to burn fat and build muscle.

Omega-3 fats are essential for the health of:
•heart
•Brain
• Viscera
•bones
Adults should aim to consume 250-500 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids per day.
Just two eggs will get you halfway!

Eggs contain two main antioxidants: lutein and zeaxanthin. Which help protect against age-related vision loss and eye problems.
It satisfies your hunger quickly
Eggs are very rich in protein, so they help you feel full for longer.
Protein reduces levels of ghrelin in the body, the hormone that makes you feel hungry. This makes eggs a great food if you're trying to eat more consciously.

Eggs are also high in nutrients that promote healthy skin, such as:
•Zinc

These nutrients reduce inflammation, improve hydration, and reduce signs of aging in your skin.
