Nutritional Values of Egg

The eggs are having the high nutritional values to the body. The latest research suggests that eating whole eggs may actually result in significant improvement in one’s blood lipids (cholesterol) profile, even in persons whose cholesterol levels rise when eating cholesterol-rich food. Lutein, a carotenoid thought to help prevent age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, may be found in even higher amounts in eggs than in green vegetables. Eggs are a good source of low cost high quality proteins, providing 5.5 gm of protein in one egg for a caloric cost of only 68 calories. Another half benefit of eggs is their contribution to the diet as a source of choline. Choline is a key component of acetylcholine. A neuro-transmitter that carries messages from and to nerves, acetylcholine is the body’s primary chemical means of sending messages between nerves and muscles.
