Eggs - One of the best Protein Sources on the planet!

The consumption of eggs has long been a debate, but there is no doubt in our minds that Eggs should be a mainplayer in an optimum diet. Eggs contain all 9 essential amino acids and have vitamins and minerals inabundance. Despite Eggs often being blamed for their contribution to raising cholestrol, (an unfounded notion) the egg yolk actually aids in preventing the accumulation of cholestrol and fat in the liver, how ironic! Extensive research on eggs and their benefits have found that they are also a superfood for the brain, eyes, heart, and even your hair and nails; There have also been studies into their effect on reducing the risk of breast cancer.

The source of your eggs and how you cook them (if at all) is important. Look for high quality, free range organic eggs. Natural is always best, but obviously raw eggs aren't high on many people's favourite food list, and low quality eggs do carry a higher risk of salmonella. However, minimizing the eggs exposure to oxygen is the healthiest way to consume them, so poaching or boiling is recommended.

The Vie Coaches whole heartedly recommend Eggs, and as protein at every meal is essential for optimum health and metabolism, they are an ideal breakfast or snack food.
