World Egg Day: 11 Reasons to Be an Egg-itarian

Which came first- The Egg or the Hen? Even though it's quite a known Brain Teaser, but believe me once reading the following facts about eggs you would be more interested in eating them; rather than paying heed to anything else.

• First, Eggs are the best source of Choline(various quaternary ammonium salts, used in synthesis of components in the cell membrane) High-quality protein(required for Body health & composition) Vitamin B12(Helps in Production of elements of DNA, RBCs, Regeneration of Bone-Marrow), Phosphorous(helpful in Bone Formation, Teeth, Spinal cord health) & Riboflavin(or Vitamin B2, required daily dosage as cant be stored in body & helps in energy production) So, if anybody who goes with at least a single (large/small) egg everyday(even the controversies about it are silenced forever by BMJ journal) could keep both the Diseases and the Doctors away!
  
• For people who're calorie-conscious or cholestrol-conscious, bury your worries as Eggs are low in calories & saturated fats that fills up for the essential nutrient-filled foods that go missing in our breakfasts, according to Dietary Guidelines Adversary Committee Report, 2015
  
• Eggs can also be good for your eyes, as showed in a study in 2013 published in journal 'Lipids' that whole eggs can increase levels of HDL(good) cholestrol and allow the HDL molecules to function more properly. Increase in Lutein & Zeaxanthin keeps your eyes healthy!
  
• For people who're diabetic eating seven eggs per weak could increase your heart disease probability; while having eggs once in a while is a complete no-harm process(if that's acceptable to your doc!) What could be more apt of a time to celebrate this day with an Egg!
  
  
  
• One egg fills you with 6 grams of protein, or 13% of the  recommended Daily Value, required for the development of muscles, while newer results show it helps in developing lower risks of hypertension
  
• Eggs could also help in reducing long-term risks of High-Blood Pressure, according to the American Journal of Hypertension
  
• According to an animal study announced by the American Chemical Society, eggs contain a peptide called RVPSL(a component of Protein) found in egg-whites that reduces blood pressure as much as a low dose of Captopril, a high-blood-pressure drug. It blocks angiotensin converting enzymes, produced by the body & increases blood pressure.
  
• According to an animal study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Choline is important for pregnant & breast-feeding women as it provides brain & memory development to the infants. Also, according to University of Rochester Medical Center, consuming choline during pregnancy and through lactation may increase a child’s immunity to stress-related illnesses and chronic issues, like hypertension, in the future. This is because increased amounts of choline changes the gene expressions for releasing cortisol — a hormone associated with stress-related and metabolic disorders — in the fetus. 
  
• Choline might also be helpful in preventing Heart diseases, Inflammation & Breast Cancer according to the review published in Nutrition Reviews.
  
• The British Journal of Nutrition study says, more than 2,000 adults in their 70s found positive associations between increased choline and better performances on cognitive tests of perception speed, cognition, sensory motor speed and executive function. 
• For Dieters, it's an excellent food option as a low- calorie food and reduce the risk of obesity and maintain a healthy body BMI; According to studies published by Journal of the American College of Nutrition & the International Journal of Obesity 
  

             While the eating of eggs should be preached and not treated as a threat, but eating it in the right way matters. For the Diabetics, consult or discuss about the consumption quantity & frequency before getting-on with it; while eating it with Ham, Bacon, Cheese could add up to the saturated fats. Cooking it properly till the white & yolk parts stay firm reduces the risk of Salmonella infections.

         Fair more reasons to celebrate this day with an egg; or rather a golden egg that keeps you healthy obviously!
