Eggcelent Nutrition

This blog is an egggstravaganza! Firstly, everyone please stop hating on eggs and egg yolks! Stop all of this pure eggs white crap now! Whole eggs, including the yolk, are very nutrient and energy dense and contain lots of vitamins, proteins and fats. This makes total sense if you think about it, a fertilized egg has to feed a baby chick until it hatches so it must be rich in nutrients, and all things good for survival. Also, eggs are the best source of protein you can get! The quality of the protein in eggs is so high that it is the value against which all other proteins are measured. Plus its full of all of those nutritional vitamins and minerals. Including, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin D, Iron, Vitamin A, Folate, Magnesium, you name it!
Now, I know what most of you are probably thinking, "but it's so high in cholesterol and fat". Well yes in the way that nutritional facts explain it, yes it would look that way to the untrained eye, but this kind of cholesterol really isn't bad for you! It's good for you!
According to Harvard medical research and Health.com eggs contain unsaturated fat which has been show to aid in weight loss, and is said be a "good fat". Second, the cholesterol is eggs is seen as good cholesterol. Not all cholesterol from food goes directly into the bloodstream, which is where cholesterol problems arise. Eggs contain dietary cholesterol which scientists are finding does not increase blood cholesterol whatsoever. LDL's or Low Density Lipoproteins are the bad type of cholesterol that stick to your artery walls. This is found in unhealthy and processed foods you would buy at Mc Donald's or KFC. Another recent study by the British and American Heart Associations has proven that eggs are actually a very valuable contribution to a healthy diet and should be eaten daily. Their studies have shown that dietary cholesterol consumed through eating eggs may increase LDL cholesterol a small amount but it is almost insignificant. They say that in fact eating eggs may counter-act the effect of LDL cholesterol on heart disease.
So please, stop the whole egg white thing and indulge in some eggs over easy in the morning. I honestly spring out of bed everyone morning knowing that I am going downstairs to eat two eggs over easy on brown rice toast with avocado. It couldn't get any better than that, and I know I'm providing my body with lots of great nutrition and energy. So stop believing the myth! It is sooo eggcelent for your body!
