A Vote For Eggs!
February 17, 2009
You have heard doctors go back and forth about whether eggs are good or bad for you. The study, by Drs Donald K Layman and Nancy R Rodriguez, is published in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of the journal Nutrition Today
Apparently eggs provide a valuable contribution to helping your muscle development because of the protein that is inside. Eggs are also known to satisfy hunger and sustain your energy.
Maybe we can say that an egg a day will help keep the doctor away and lower medical insurance premiums?
Here is how eggs contribute to strength:
- As it does not cause surges in blood sugar and insulin, the protein in eggs is a steady and sustained source of energy.
- Eggs are rich in protein and nutrients including thiamin, riboflavin, folate, B12 and B6, the B vitamins that are essential for energy production.
- One eggs supplies more than 6 grams of high quality protein (about 13 per cent of the daily value) which helps to preserve muscle mass and prevent muscle loss in older adults.
- Eggs are rich in leucine, an essential amino acid that helps the body use energy and muscles recover after exercise.
- Eggs have all the amino acids the body needs to build and maintain muscle mass.
- Eggs are often used as the “gold standard”, a comparison for assessing the protein content of other foods.
I’m not too sure how medical insurance would like the idea of eating more eggs or not, however, today there is a vote for eating eggs – so eggs congratulations on possibly helping lower medical insurance because of your contribution to health.
