[메디컬투데이=남연희 기자] Five health benefits of eggs were introduced in American food media. Healthy hair and skin and strong bones are among the benefits of eggs.
‘EatingWell’, an American food media outlet, published a recent article titled ‘What Happens to Your Body when You Eat Eggs Every Day’ for the well-being of eggs. Five effects were selected and reported.
First of all, it makes you feel full and energized. Vitamin B12, vitamin D, and choline in the yolk all play an important role in converting food into usable energy. The combination of protein and healthy fats is the main cause of feeling full after eating eggs.
It also makes your hair and skin healthier. This is because eggs are a source of various B vitamins, including vitamins B2, B5, and B12. All of these nutrients help maintain healthy skin and hair.
Since all B vitamins are water soluble, they do not stay in the body for long, so it is important to consume them regularly. Eggs are rich in amino acids such as methionine, which are beneficial for improving skin tone and suppleness and strength of hair and nails.
You can also think more clearly. Choline, which is abundant in eggs, is used by the body to create cell membranes and important neurotransmitters. Choline is important for memory and mood, so not getting enough of it can make your head feel foggy. One egg contains about 6% of your daily choline needs.
Next, you can have better eyesight. This is because the egg yolk contains two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, that support eye health. Dark leafy vegetables are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, so recipes such as vegetable fried rice with eggs and garlic are very beneficial for eye health.
Finally, your bones become healthier. The vitamin D in eggs improves calcium absorption in the intestines and regulates calcium and phosphorus levels to support healthy bone growth and promote bone remodeling.
