The Potential Harm Of Taking Egg Replacement Diets

By John Myers


There are various reasons for eating food. Sometimes, they are taken because it is the doctor's recommendation to stay alive and/or healthy. Some other times, food is taken because they are sweet and nutritious. As for eggs, they are taken for more than these reasons already highlighted. Thus, it is not good to consider egg replacement meals.

If there is anything you should consider not taking for the long term, it should be anything processed. Processed foods supply artificial calories, unlike eggs which are real foods. Besides, a single egg contains most of the nutrients the body needs to be strong. It can give you energy, protein, fats and so much more.

In addition, you should have a crate or more of it at home for the times when you may feel so hungry and unable to cook. This is because of how fast it is to prepare it. Boiling eggs on a gas cooker should not take you up to 10 minutes and frying is even faster. In less than ten minutes, you are sure of getting 70 calories of energy, nine amino acids and about six grams of protein. You can prepare it for breakfast and have some for lunch at work.

You can also rely on eggs to get enough vitamin D for the body. Introducing eggs to children when they are still tender will prevent any occurrence of rickets. More so, even with a plentiful supply of calcium, a person can still experience its deficiencies if vitamin D is not in an adequate amount.

As one grows older, there is always a fear of having a poorer vision. But this is not always the case especially among those that know about the antioxidants known as lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants are available in some natural foods including eggs. Even though you can be sure to find them elsewhere, it is still better to stick to eggs because the little present in them can be easily absorbed into the bloodstream.

There is a nutrient called choline which is contained in eggs. In fact, one egg contains about 125 milligrams of it. What this nutrient does is to facilitate cell functions. It helps the liver in its activities and helps in the transportation of substances around the body. Without choline, the body's metabolic rate will reduce.

By the way, eggs are much cheaper than other foods that have the same goodness as it does. You can get all of its vitality with just a few cents. It is better to train up a child to love eggs for snacks than some foods which are nothing but junk.

There used to be fear that eggs contain a high amount of cholesterol. Even though it has some in its content, new findings reveal that the cholesterol level is not harmful. This finding has been backed up by THE United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Eating three eggs per day won't cause any harm because the food actually has the good cholesterol known as HDL.
