Eggs are vital ingredients to many recipes. While eggs have made the headlines in weight loss news due to its high cholesterol content, many people neglect the fact that they host other important nutrients as well. Fortunately, eggs have enjoyed a slightly improved reputation in recent years. This is largely due to the dispute over whether the cholesterol content in eggs are as bad as first thought.

A joint initiative between Harvard, USA and Tongji Medical College, China was set up in 2012 to examine the relationship between eggs consumption and the presumed increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. At the end of the research phase, it was concluded that a healthy intake of one egg per day does not increase the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke. In addition, this healthy habit helps to reduce the possibility of hemorrhagic stroke by up to 25%. Now that irrefutable evidence has dismissed the myth of harmful cholesterol content in eggs, the attention should shift to focus on the range of benefits they provide.

The immune system gains the most from the consumption of eggs. Vitamin A, vitamin D and folate are the main contributors towards this enhancement and ensures that the body system is strengthened to withstand any disease or virus.

2. Improve Skin Condition

Vitamin A works with Biotin and Selenium to offer a comprehensive skin protection package. This three-pronged defense works in tandem. Vitamin A helps to repair and improve current skin condition. Biotin primarily ensures that the skin retains its nutrients. Selenium acts as the first line of defense to protect the skin against oxidation damage. It should be noted that Biotin helps to retain nutrients in the hair as well.
