Eating more eggs are a fantastic way to give yourself a health boost. Eating whole eggs is vital: the goodness of eggs is found in the yolk (containing over 90 percent of an egg’s calcium and iron) and the white (containing almost half the egg’s protein). If you’re not eating eggs regularly, here are lots of reasons why you should. One little egg is packed with several vitamins essential to your health: -Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which helps your body to break down food into energy -Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vital for producing red blood cells -Vitamin A (retinol), which is great for your eyesight -Vitamin E (tocopherol), which fights off the free radicals that can cause tissue and cellular damage, which may lead to cancer Vitamins A and B2 are also important for growth—so make sure your kids are eating eggs regularly, too. -Boost your weight loss -Take in essential minerals Eggs are packed with iron, zinc and phosphorus—minerals that are vital for your body. AND, as a bonus, there are some trace elements (minerals you need in small amounts) in eggs: Iodine, required to make thyroid hormones Selenium, an antioxidant that can help cut your risk of cancer.
