Eggs should be considered a 'superfood' because they can boost health and tackle obesity.
Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods and are recommended one a day for the maximum benefit.
Eggs, though believed to have very high amount of cholesterol, are actually not bad for health. It is a myth that eggs can promote cardiovascular diseases. Eggs, rather, make essential nutritional contribution to your diet.
Whole eggs are one of the best sources of the nutrient choline. A study published this year found that women with a high intake of choline were 24 percent less likely to get breast cancer.
The high levels of antioxidants found in eggs mean they could even help prevent age-related macular degeneration - a leading cause of blindness.
Eggs could also play a significant role in dieting and weight loss. Louisiana State University system researchers found that obese people who ate a two-egg breakfast at least five times a week lost 65 percent more weight and had more energy than women who breakfasted on bagels.
Eggs are a good choice as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
