In many homes, eggs are a staple. They can be served not only for breakfast and lunch but also for dinner. Although it's been known for years that they provide the body with many essential nutrients for proper functioning, some have deliberately given them up, believing they are not as healthy as they might seem. Is that really the case?
Eggs for everyone
"For years, many people have avoided eggs, influenced by the dietary myth of their harmfulness," began their Instagram post, author and nutrition expert Karol Wyszomirski and MD Magdalena Cubała. The experts decided to clear up any doubts about these products once and for all. To this end, they recorded a video in which they discussed the benefits of consuming them.
- The idea that they are unhealthy should be strongly debated, as they contain a lot of nutrients like Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and anti-inflammatory palmitoylethanolamide," stated Dr. Cubała.
Interestingly, the specialist also emphasized that eggs don't have as significant an impact on cholesterol levels as was recently believed.
- We always blamed eggs for this. Now it turns out that there have been studies indicating that even diabetics can eat 6 to 12 eggs a week.
What eggs to choose?
When looking for eggs in the store, you may be surprised by the variety available on the market. They differ not only in price but also in production methods. Karol Wyszomirski and MD Magdalena Cubała advise choosing products from a specific source.
"When choosing eggs, remember that they should be of the best quality—preferably straight from an organic farm."
