There are only a few foods that I always have in the fridge—and eggs are one of them. I really love eggs! I scramble them for breakfast, dump them into smoothies, and put them in sandwiches for lunch. And what makes them even better is that they’re really good for you! Just make sure to select eggs that are organic and preferably free-range. Here are eight things that happen to your body when you eat eggs every day.
1. Your bones will become stronger
Eggs contain calcium, which strengthens bones and helps prevent osteoporosis. And they also contain vitamin D, which regulates the calcium balance in bones and teeth.
2. Your hair, skin, and nails will be healthy
The vitamin B and omega-3 fatty acids in eggs help maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails.
3. You’ll build muscles
Eggs are known for containing lots of protein, which is essential to building muscles.
4. Your brain will develop
Eggs contain a substance called choline that is good for brain growth and development. Choline improves, among other things, memory and alertness.
5. You’ll get a lot of vitamins and minerals
Most antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can be found in eggs—for example, vitamin E, folate, and selenium.
6. Your eyes will be healthy
The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin found in eggs protect the eyes and reduce the risk of cataracts.
7. You’ll maintain your weight more easily
Eggs provide a feeling of satiety, which means you won’t feel the same need for snacking.
