Eggs

Eggs

Once shunned by dietitians and cardiologists for their high cholesterol content, research now shows that the egg has some pretty incredible benefits ranging from bossting weight loss efforts to protecting your vision.

In addition to providing an inexpensive source of high-quality protein, eggs are also an excellent source of the antioxidant mineral selenium and the best source of vision-protecting nutrient lutein.

While the yolk contains about two-thirds of the total suggested daily maximum intake of cholesterol, research shows cholesterol in foods has little impact on cholesterol in your blood.

HEALING TIP: When choosing eggs be sure to get free-range organic eggs from chickens fed a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids for maximum health benefit.
