Why You Need To Eat More Eggs

There has been a lot of controversy recently about eggs, so much so recently that people thought they were bad for you, but nothing could be further from the truth recent findings have shown that eggs are in fact very good for you so, much so that some recent studies done have found that they can suppress your appetite later on in the day let's say for instance you have eggs for breakfast, you're far less likely to eat more food at dinner time.

In this particular study done by the Rochester Centre for Obesity, in America, overweight women had an egg-based breakfast; other women had a bagel-based breakfast.
The women who had the egg-based breakfast had eaten far less than the bagel group.

Over the monitoring period of over thirty six hours, the egg eating group consumed four hundred and seventeen less calories, than the bagel group.

And it doesn't stop there eggs have six grams of protein, which is ideal if you're a vegetarian they contain naturally occurring vitamin D, vitamin B1, vitamin B5
plus a abundance of minerals trytopan ,selenium, iodine, phosphorus.

Also may be a aid in heart health, reasons for this are they may help in preventing blood clots, a study which was done in a issue of the biological and pharmaceutical bulletin showed that the egg yolk contains something that prevents platelets forming, it acts as a time delay mechanism in the formation of something called fibrinogen which is a protein that is in blood which gets turned into a fibrin, fibrin lays the foundations for when a blood clot is formed red and white blood cells attach to the fibrin which will become the blood clot, the more yolks eaten the more effect it has.

One egg contains roughly 70 calories eaten with two slices of wholemeal, or wholegrain bread, which roughly worked out two slices, would be 160 calories and two eggs 140 calories, combined 300 calories which for lunch say is ideal and very healthy too.
