Start the day with ... eggs

A study by Surrey University (UK) published in Nutrition magazine (Europe) recently found that eggs are one of the super foods that have good nutritional value for life and human health.

A source of precious nutrients

Rich in vitamins A, D and K:

Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for vision. Without this vitamin, it is very easy to get night blindness.

Vitamin D helps absorb calcium, making bones strong.

Vitamin K is extremely important for blood clotting and helps strengthen bones.

Supply of precious protein: Each egg has about 7g of protein and in yolk is 44.3%, 50% in white, remaining in shell.

Egg protein has 9 of the best and most comprehensive amino acid components, and is a source of rare amino acids such as Methionine, Triptophan, and Xystin which are amino acids that are often lacking in daily meals.

Iodine source is abundant: If iodine deficiency can cause pregnant women to give birth to malformed or mental retardation babies. The most common symptom of iodine deficiency is dry skin and hair, exhaustion, irritability and poor memory.

Natural nourishing remedy

Complementary eye: Egg yolk has the effect of protecting the eyes from dark circles, aging due to age - the main cause of vision loss in old age.

Canadian researchers also found that the antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin in egg yolk also protect the skin from freckles and reduce the risk of cataracts.

In addition, they help increase HDL cholesterol - a 'healthy' cholesterol that works against heart disease.

Weight loss support: Because eggs contain leucine that helps speed up the "burning" process of fat. In addition, eggs contain very little energy. Each egg has only about 75 calories, equivalent to 1 banana.

A recent study in the United States confirmed that if women tolerate eating two eggs each morning, they will lose weight quickly.

Preventing diabetes: When blood sugar in the blood is irregular, the process of regulating glucose is disturbed, which can easily develop into diabetes. But leucine in eggs has a stable effect on blood sugar, reducing the risk for patients.

Brain supplements : Eggs contain an extremely important nutrient for the brain called cholin. Many scientists have found that the brain regularly uses colin to transmit information across cells. In addition, it is a catalyst that helps the brain to quickly perform complex functions. Many studies conducted on animals say that when a lack of cholesterol causes the brain to lose memory.

Anti-cancer: A study conducted by Harvard Medical School confirms that adolescent girls who eat eggs regularly will reduce breast cancer in the future. Although more research is needed, eating eggs is never superfluous.

Reduce the risk of anemia: We always need iron to create hemoglobin, a hemoglobin protein (in red blood cells) that stores and releases oxygen, avoiding fatigue.

In addition, eggs provide a group of haem - an iron source from animals, which is nutritious for blood because of anemia and iron deficiency.
