1. Eggs reduce heart problems

Eggs contain two important antioxidants: Trypofan and Tyrosin. These help to combat the development of cardiovascular disease, as well as lowering the risk of cancer through enlarging the body’s protective LDL particles.

2. Eggs keep you young

In recent years, many people have used amino acids to keep themselves looking youthful. Eggs are naturally rich in these acids, which help to build and renew cells, so you can remain looking young for longer.

3. Counteracting osteoporosis

Eggs contain a lot of calcium, which strengthens both your skeleton and teeth. They’re also rich in vitamin D, which regulates the calcium levels in your bones and teeth.

4. Building muscle

There’s a reason many body builders consume eggs. They’re a natural, clean source of protein, so if you’re looking to build mass or muscle, eggs are great for your daily diet.

5. Good for memory

Studies have shown that additional supplements of amino acid improves memory and responsiveness. Eggs are rich in choline, and therefore good to eat if you’re concerned with memory loss.

6. Counteracting depression

As mentioned earlier, eggs are rich in vitamin D. This vitamin can be difficult to obtain during winter months, which can lead to people feeling down and depressed. Eggs can help to tackle the problem by filling the void.

7. Strengthening your immune system

Studies have shown that just 2 eggs a day can protect you from infections, diseases and viruses. An egg contains 22 percent of the recommended intake of selenium, which is known to bolster your immune system.
