Eggs are nutritious
for vision health because they contain protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals
necessary for healthy eyes, including the most common eye disorders, such as
cataract and glaucoma.
Previously, eggs
were associated with high cholesterol, and therefore not recommended for those
who were prone to heart diseases. But recently, research studies have found
that eggs contain “good cholesterol” for healthy hearts, as indicated by a
research study at the University
of Connecticut
Egg yolks, organ
meats, shellfish, and whole-fat dairy products are good sources of dietary
cholesterol, with little effect on blood cholesterol that may affect heart
health.
Eggs are
particularly rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are needed by your
eyes to avoid age-related degenerative eye diseases.
Egg yolks contain choline, an essential nutrient for the
brain and the immune system.
Eggs from
free-range chickens are particularly rich in omega-3s.
Eggs may also help
weigh management (feeling fuller) and combating cancer.
Consume eggs on a
daily basis, and this may keep your eye doctor away.
