Having loaded Helz up and sent her off to Cheltenham farmers' market, I came in to make a coffee and caught an interesting comment on the Radio, today is WORLD EGG Day! Sorry for the lack of warning...In an effort to find out more I popped over to the think egg website and couldn't belive the amount of information there is out there on eggs... we really should be eating more!!
Here, for example, are some great fact on the nutritional benefits of eggs
"Eggs are an excellent complete food, nutrient packed and great for your health.They contain the highest quality protein available . Because they have a high nutrient content compared to their calorie count, eggs are nutrient-dense. This makes them especially helpful as a nutritious part of childrenn's and senior diets, as well as diets for the weight conscious.They are easy to chew and digest, making them suitable for people of all ages. Eggs also have a number of nutrients important for good health. Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin which contribute to health of the eye. The choline found in eggs plays a role in brain function. Both the egg white and yolk provide protein, plus assorted amounts of all needed vitamins, (except vitamin C), and an array of important minerals. Altogether, these nutrients maintain your body, repair tissues and ensure that body processes all function properly"
as the saying goes... "every little helps"
