Want A More Nutrition-Packed Eggs In Your Life?

HASHTAG: #AMCoffee

Eggs are some of the best sources of protein. Why many athletes and body builders go after eggs in their daily diet is because of an optimal combination of protein and its components like Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins E, D, Beta-carotene, choline, and more.

Protein is a building block for our muscles and is vital to our health and well-being throughout our life. In fact, during our growth as children and during our older age, our bodies need more protein during the day than ever. Eggs provide a good quality of protein in a fairly big amount.

Egg protein is considered to be full protein along fish and meat. However, egg protein is rated as of highest quality and given number 100, as compared to milk which is rated at 93 and fish and beef rated at 75. One egg has approximately the same protein content as 30 grams of cooked meat, fish or poultry.

Many people focus on the white part of the eggs, the protein-packed one. However, the yolks are a gem storage of good fats our bodies need on the daily basis. In addition, these brightly yellow suns contain vital fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E, and the essential amino acid Leucine which is integral in our muscle growth and recovery.

Eggs are packed with some of the nutrients that are integral to our eye health. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are potent antioxidants that fight free radicals and play important role in the prevention of macular degeneration, the diseases that hasn’t found the best cure yet. Protecting our eyes by supplying our daily diet with foods that do it is essential and powerful in our preventative measures.

Knowing all the goodness of having eggs in our regular diet, here are the findings from Mother Earth News that compares pasture-raised hens to the caged ones, specifically their eggs. Here are the results of these findings. They show that eggs from pasture-raised hens:

• Contain 2 times more Omega-3 fatty acids
• Contain 3 times more vitamin E
• Contain 6 times more vitamin D
• Contain 7 times more Beta-carotene

Buying eggs from your local farmer’s market could be much more beneficial and two-fold: best in quality and in cost. Besides, we are supporting our local economy that allows us to eat locally and benefit greatly from the locally-grown fruit, veggies and other products that we use in our lives.

What do you do this season to make sure you and your family take advantage of all things around you?
