The Egg: A Nutritional Ally
For years, the egg was the bad boy of nutrition. Do you remember those days when they told you that eating it was like inviting cholesterol to a party? What a mistake! Today we know that the egg is a true hero of nutrition.
With a high protein content and an impressive nutritional profile, it has earned its place at our table.
The International Egg Commission (IEC) has made it clear that, although the egg contains cholesterol, its effect on our blood cholesterol is much less than previously thought. Isn’t that great?
Research from the University of Castilla has shown that, in fact, it can improve our good lipoprotein levels. So there are no more excuses not to enjoy it!
Benefits You Can't Miss
Now, let's talk about the yolk, that yellow part that many love and others fear. It contains most of the essential nutrients: vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as minerals like iron and zinc. Did you know that one egg contains all the essential amino acids your body needs? It's like a multivitamin in breakfast form!
Doctor Alberto Cormillot, an expert in obesity, states that consuming one egg daily is safe and beneficial for most people. If you have no medical contraindications, go ahead!
This small food can improve your body composition and, according to the University of Castilla, it can even help you increase lean mass. Who wouldn't want that?
Satiation: The Secret of a Good Breakfast
Have you ever found yourself searching for the vending machine by mid-morning? It's a classic! This is where eggs shine. Their high content of protein and healthy fats provides you with a feeling of fullness that can last for hours.
This means less hunger and less snacking between meals. Perfect for maintaining those energy levels throughout the day!
Including one or two eggs in your breakfast is not only delicious, but it can also be the key to controlling your appetite. And the best part is that they are easy to prepare. Scrambled, fried, boiled… the possibilities are endless!
The Egg Diet: Is It Worth It?
With the popularity of the egg diet on social media, it's easy to feel tempted. This plan is based on consuming eggs and other low-carb foods. However, this is where things get complicated. This regimen is very restrictive and is not recommended for long-term adherence. It is always best to have the supervision of a nutritionist before embarking on the adventure.
Remember, there is no need to deprive yourself of the delicious egg. Including it in a balanced diet and enjoying its benefits is not only healthy but can also be very satisfying. So, are you ready to give eggs a chance? Your health will thank you!
