We all love the incredible, edible egg, but did you know the many egg health benefits you gain each time you enjoy your favorite breakfast food? Rich in essential vitamins and minerals, this budget-friendly protein source can be enjoyed morning, noon, or night!

Do you know the many egg health benefits?

From health during pregnancy, to heart health, to even seeing your children reach their full height potential, the incredible, edible egg has many health benefits you may not know about. This super budget-friendly source of protein is an American favorite breakfast food and there’s good reason why. Not only is it versatile, completely delicious, and easy to enjoy morning, noon, or night, the egg health benefits you reap are the real winners when you add this simple staple to your daily diet.

Budget-friendly protein source with essential benefits:

  1. Help Your Child Reach Their Growth Potential: A 2017 study from Paediatrics Magazine suggested that giving young children just one egg per day for six months, along with a diet of reduced sugar-sweetened foods, may help them achieve a healthy height and should prevent stunting.
  2. Maintain Heart Health: Eggs are rich in several nutrients including betaine and choline that promote heart health. A recent study of nearly half a million people in China suggests that eating one egg per day may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Of course experts stress that eggs need to be consumed as part of a healthy lifestyle and diet in order to be beneficial.
  3. Enjoy a Budget-Friendly Protein Source: One egg has 6 grams of protein, with all nine essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Those are the ones your body can’t make by itself! Stick to the egg white whenever you can because it holds about half the protein with only a small portion of the fat and cholesterol.
  4. Maintain Brain Health and Boost Memory: Eggs contain vitamins and minerals that are needed for the regular functioning of cells, including the brain, nervous system, memory, and metabolism.
  5. Up Your Chances of a Healthful Pregnancy: Some nutrients within eggs help to prevent congenital disabilities, including spina bifida.

Fun Fact:

Did you know that eggs are one of the most commonly consumed animal products in the world? There has to be a reason for that, right?
