Egg yolk: Myth & Reality

in #health7 years ago


Myth: You have to throw the yolk out of the egg because it has high cholesterol.


Reality: This is the worst thing that can be done, because the yolks contain almost all the nutrients. The white part is practically only protein


In addition, egg yolks have excellent properties:


- High quality protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, almost all the nutrients your body needs.

- High content of choline, a brain nutrient that 90% of people do not take enough.

- Lutein and zeaxanthin, powerful antioxidants that are highly protective for the eyes, reducing the risk of various diseases of the eyes.


And much better: the eggs are cheap, easy to prepare and delicious.


So a whole egg is the most perfect food that exists in nature, and throwing the egg yolk is a bad idea.
