Let’s bust the boring myth about eggs and cholesterol and why organic eggs are the best food you could ever eat

You will have heard this story one too many times, that eggs are bad for you, they will raise your cholesterol and risk for heart disease. Well, not quite. As research shows, dietary cholesterol (cholesterol you eat) does not affect your blood cholesterol directly, which is actually produced by your liver from other products you eat.

Unfortunately science has failed us in the past and has given pretty bad advice on what to eat and what not to eat. So instead of a healthy breakfast with eggs, that will fills us up for longer containing good quality protein, amazing fat-soluble vitamins and other useful microelements, we have been sold the idea that it’s better to load up on simple carbs and eat granola or breakfast cereal.

Here are 10 benefits of eating eggs for women’s health:

✨ Rich in High-Quality Protein: Eggs provide essential amino acids that help maintain muscle mass, promote recovery, and support overall body function. High quality protein becomes more and more important as we age and lose our capability to generate or maintain a proper muscle mass. Muscles are what will keep you walking and moving when you are old, so important thing to think about.

✨ Supports Hormone Health: The healthy fats in eggs, particularly omega-3s, are beneficial for balancing hormone levels and reducing inflammation in the body. Today there are too many external factors leading to inflammation that can become chronic and eventually lead to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer. The more anti inflammatory foods you include in your diet, the better!

✨ Boosts Brain Health: Eggs are high in choline, an essential nutrient that supports brain function and improves memory, particularly important during pregnancy and menopause. Very rarely do we talk about our brain health, but to be in control of out mood, feel good on a daily basis, our brain is the number one organ we have to take care of. Bad thoughts and negative feelings can be generated by our brain because of bad nutrition.

✨ Promotes Healthy Skin and Hair: The vitamins A, D, and E found in eggs help maintain healthy skin and hair, providing a natural glow. No need to buy expensive hair supplements that sometimes are filled with sugar and junk ingredients you don’t want to put in your body.

✨ Strengthens Bones: Rich in vitamin D, eggs help improve calcium absorption, which is crucial for bone health, especially for women at risk of osteoporosis. It’s not so much the quantity of calcium you consume on a daily basis, but the other components that actually help absorb and utilise it, like vitamin D.

✨ Supports Weight Management: High in protein and healthy fats, eggs help control hunger by keeping you fuller for longer, making it easier to manage weight. Hence, the perfect breakfast food to kick off the day.

✨ Good for Heart Health: Eggs contain healthy fats and omega-3s, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol. We eat too many omega-6s in comparison to omega-3, so any way of correcting the ratio between the two is a great thing.

✨ Boosts Immune System: The antioxidants in eggs, including selenium, help strengthen the immune system and protect the body from illness. Especially going towards more stressful or colder seasons.

✨ Improves Eye Health: Eggs are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are powerful antioxidants that protect the eyes from age-related conditions like macular degeneration. Glasses can be cute, but if we can avoid them or maintain our eyesight stable, the better.

✨ Supports Reproductive Health: The nutrients in eggs, such as folate and B vitamins, support reproductive health and are vital for women trying to conceive. So if you’re thinking of starting a family, it’s incredibly important to have good nutrition not only during pregnancy, but also before. AND incredibly important also for the man as good nutrition will determine the quality of the sperm as well.

Incorporating eggs into your diet can significantly contribute to your overall wellness, supporting everything from hormonal balance to skin health!

Of course, important to mention, look for organic, pasture-raised chicken eggs for better nutritional properties!
