With such a rich assortment of valuable components, eggs can improve metabolism, boost the immune system, enhance skin, hair, and nail health, and stimulate red blood cell production.

Eggs are also beneficial in improving memory and enhancing muscle mass. They are rich in lutein, a carotenoid known to preserve eye health and protect against macular degeneration. Additionally, antioxidants present in eggs reduce the risk of cancer, slow age-related body changes, and combat the harmful excess of free radicals.

Eggs produced by hens fed a healthy diet are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial in regulating high blood triglyceride levels. However, it's worth noting that eggs, especially in high quantities or fried, are not suitable for everyone. Those with high cholesterol and cardiovascular issues should reduce egg consumption.

Nutritionists advise healthy individuals to start their day with a hard-boiled egg. This habit not only prolongs satiety, but also helps in eating less throughout the day, speeding up the fat-burning process. This advice is particularly useful for individuals who are overweight or obese.
