Eggs have long been a breakfast staple, but what actually happens to your body when you eat them every day? A leading nutrition expert has revealed the science-backed effects—both good and potentially concerning—of making eggs a daily habit.
The Powerhouse of Nutrients
"Eggs are nature's multivitamin," explains the specialist. Packed with high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and vital nutrients like vitamin D, B12, and choline, they offer an impressive nutritional punch in just 70 calories.
Key Benefits:
- Muscle maintenance: The complete protein supports muscle repair and growth
- Brain boost: Choline enhances memory and cognitive function
- Eye protection: Lutein and zeaxanthin guard against age-related vision loss
The Cholesterol Controversy
While eggs do contain dietary cholesterol, recent research suggests they have minimal impact on blood cholesterol for most people. "The body compensates by producing less cholesterol naturally," notes the expert. However, those with specific health conditions should consult their GP.
Weight Management Wonder
The high protein content keeps you fuller for longer, potentially reducing overall calorie intake. "Eggs can be a valuable tool for weight management when part of a balanced diet," the nutritionist adds.
Potential Downsides
Overconsumption (beyond 3 eggs daily for extended periods) might lead to digestive issues in some individuals. Those with egg allergies, of course, should avoid them altogether.
For most healthy adults, the expert concludes that enjoying eggs daily—whether scrambled, poached or boiled—can be part of a nutritious diet supporting overall wellbeing.
