According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. People tend to avoid the yolk but in truth, the yolk is where many of the vitamins and nutrients are found.
Eggs are a great source of protein,vitamins, including vitamin A, B vitamins,potassium folic acid, choline, biotin and good fats.
In fact, it is one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D other than milk. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.
Our body needs good fats to function and to absorb vitamins and nutrients.
The humble eggs are a very cheap source of all good nutrients.
One large hard-boiled egg contains about 78 kcal. When buying eggs, it is better to look for those that are labeled "organic" or "omega-3".
Eggs from free-range chickens are the best. Storing eggs in the refrigerator will keep them fresh for about one month.
Diabetics may be one of the only groups that should avoid having more than one egg/day, as they might show some increases in cholesterol with higher egg consumption.
