See the difference between eggs

Everyone knows, that eggs are rich source of protein — an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. The body uses protein to build and repair tissues as well as making enzymes (that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in blood), hormones and other body chemicals.


The body does not store protein, and therefore has no reservoir to draw on when it needs a new supply. Thus eggs are the perfect sources and a smart food choice. We compared egg nutrition in four traditional preparing ways. This table shows what a healthy difference egg can make in your day.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight per day (or 8 grams of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight).

Omega-3

There's a simple, proven and easy way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and that is to increase your intake of the healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to significantly reduce the risk for sudden death caused by cardiac arrhythmias and all-cause mortality in patients with known coronary heart disease. 
Scientists and medical professionals alike now agree that the omega-3 fats can prevent and even reverse the deadly effects of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Omega-6

Omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids for the body, but cannot be produced by it – making consumption through the diet necessary. But Omega 6 are healthy only in moderation. Along with omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function, as well as normal growth and development. Omega-6 help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism, and maintain the reproductive system. A recent American Heart Association science advisory concludes that omega-6 fatty acids – found in some vegetable oils, nuts and seeds – are a beneficial part of a heart-healthy eating plan.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a lipid (fat chemical) that is made in the cells in your body. Many different cells make cholesterol but cells in the liver make about a quarter of the total. Although many foods contain cholesterol, it is poorly absorbed by the gut into the body.
Substantially elevated blood cholesterol is certainly a health concern but lowering blood cholesterol or having too low of blood cholesterol is associated with other health risks (may increase risk of deaths due to suicide or violence, because low cholesterol decreases the number of serotonin receptors in the brain and serotonin in the central nervous system suppresses aggressive impulses).

Cystine

Cystine is required for proper vitamin B6 utilization and is also helpful in the healing of burns and wounds, breaking down mucus deposits in illnesses such as bronchitis as well as cystic fibrosis. Cysteine also assists in the supply of insulin to the pancreas, which is needed for the assimilation of sugars and starches. It has been shown as a detoxification agent to protect the body against damage of alcohol and cigarette smoking, and may be effective in preventing hangovers, as well as preventing liver and brain damage.

Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid (a building block for proteins in the body), meaning the body needs it for health, but cannot make it. You have to get it from food. Phenylalanine has been proposed to treat chronic pain. Phenylalanine helps by stimulating nerve pathways that can reduce depression and chronic pain. Conditions that might benefit from phenylalanine are arthritis, speech difficulties, walking disabilities and severe menstrual cramps.
