The Value Of Eggs

Did you know....

Eating eggs is not a significant cause for the raising of your cholesterol, and if it were, consider this.....cholesterol is required to create hormones in your body.

Eggs have been shown to:

* Keep your brain healthy. Choline is an important nutrient found in egg yolks as phosphatidycholine. . A cell must have this substance to be normal and healthy and to work properly. It keeps the membrane of each cell in a fluid condition.

* Phosphatidycholine is necessary for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that carries impulses between brain cells. And acetylcholine is essential so that we can concentrate and pay attention to our tasks. It ensures that we have the ability to concentrate and retain information in our memory. Impaired memory, difficulty concentrating and cognitive decline as we age are symptoms lacking this essential nutrient. You can see why eggs can help prevent Alzheimer's.

* Improve heart health. Choline converts homocysteine into harmless material. Homocysteine is the substance that can damage your blood vessels and is a precursor to heart disease. Eggs can also decrease your risk for heart attacks and stroke thanks to the anti-clotting agent found in yolks.

* Enhance your vision. The lutein found in eggs can help prevent macular degeneration.

* Nourish expecting mothers and their babies. Egg yolks contain high levels of biotin, a B vitamin that can prevent birth defects. Egg yolks should be a baby's first animal food and can be introduced around six months.

* Aid in fat assimilation. Eggs yolks contain lecithin. In fact, lecithin is the precursor to choline, which helps lower serum cholesterol.
