Eggs are a quintessential breakfast food and something countless people enjoy every morning. They’re also an essential ingredient in baked goods and other snacks. They’re loaded with nutrients and a healthy addition to any diet. Here, you’ll find a few of the health benefits you can anticipate from consuming them.

Why Should You Eat Eggs?

1. They Prevent Heart Disease

It’s a common misconception that eggs aren’t a heart-healthy food. Research has shown that they can reduce your risk of heart disease—the leading cause of death worldwide.

If you have small low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol particles, which are the problematic part of “bad cholesterol,” you can be more susceptible to heart disease. Eating eggs for breakfast will make these particles denser and reduce your risk.

2. They’re Packed With Nutrients

Eating eggs for breakfast puts a dent in many of your micro-nutritional needs for the day.

A single egg contains vitamin A, selenium, phosphorus, vitamins D, K, E, and B6, folate, calcium, and zinc. All that comes in a low-calorie serving that’s filling, loaded with protein, and contains plenty of healthy fats.

Try them fried, scrambled, hard-boiled, or poached.

3. They Improve Brain & Immune System Health

Eggs contain choline, a nutrient that benefits your mood, nervous system, and brain health. This includes brain development in fetuses. It strengthens cell membranes to improve brain health and can also combat heart disease by breaking down amino acids.

Eggs are an efficient source of choline, so take full advantage. You can hard-boil a batch to carry with you throughout the day for a healthy, filling snack.
