Why Considering Egg Replacement Meals Is Not In Your Best Interest

By John Myers


There are various reasons for eating food. Sometimes, they are taken because it is the doctor's recommendation to stay alive and/or healthy. Some other times, food is taken because they are sweet and nutritious. As for eggs, they are taken for more than these reasons already highlighted. Thus, it is not good to consider egg replacement meals.

If not for any other reason, you should love eggs because they are real foods. They are natural and contain and are wholesome, providing almost every vital nutrient the body needs. It comes unprocessed and with no side effects as seen in most other processed foods. You can decide to eat them boiled or fried.

Moreso, eggs are easy to cook. Whether boiled or fried, it takes only a few minutes to have them ready for consumption. This makes them a preferred choice for snacks and early in the morning when one has to hurry for work or school. The good thing is that it can keep you sustained until the next meal is ready. An average-size egg contains about 70 calories of energy, 9 essential amino acids and 6 grams of protein.

You can also rely on eggs to get enough vitamin D for the body. Introducing eggs to children when they are still tender will prevent any occurrence of rickets. More so, even with a plentiful supply of calcium, a person can still experience its deficiencies if vitamin D is not in an adequate amount.

As one grows older, there is always a fear of having a poorer vision. But this is not always the case especially among those that know about the antioxidants known as lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants are available in some natural foods including eggs. Even though you can be sure to find them elsewhere, it is still better to stick to eggs because the little present in them can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream.

There is a nutrient called choline which is contained in eggs. In fact, one egg contains about 125 milligrams of it. What this nutrient does is to facilitate cell functions. It helps the liver in its activities and helps in the transportation of substances around the body. Without choline, the body's metabolic rate will reduce.

By the way, eggs are much cheaper than other foods that have the same goodness as it does. You can get all of its vitality with just a few cents. It is better to train up a child to love eggs for snacks than some foods which are nothing but junk.

One may find it difficult in this present age to believe that eggs can fight heart attack. This is because of the old rumor that eggs have cholesterol. The truth is that the cholesterol in eggs is the good one which is known as HDL. The presence of HDL in the blood prevents fats from piling up in the blood and blood vessels. The United States Department of Agriculture also supports consuming it so well. There would be no problem with your cholesterol level even if you consume up to three per day.
