7. YOU’LL LOSE FAT
Mostly because of their satiating power, eggs have been connected to fat loss. A research has been conducted on this topic and the results from it were amazing: over a period of eight weeks, people ate a breakfast of either eggs or bagels, both containing the same quantity of calories. The group that ate eggs lost 65 percent more body fat, had a 61 percent greater reduction in BMI (body mass index) and saw a 34 percent greater reduction in the waist circumference.

8. YOU’LL PROTECT YOUR BRAIN
Eggs are one of the best brain foods. This is mostly due to the essential nutrient called choline. This nutrient is a part of the cell membranes and it is necessary for synthesizing acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. According to many studies, the insufficiency of choline has been connected to neurological disorders and lowered cognitive function. Surprisingly, over ninety percent of the Americans consume less than the daily recommended quantities of choline, a US dietary survey indicates.

9. YOU’LL SAVE YOUR LIFE
Not many people are familiar with the amazing fact that the body can produce eleven essential amino acids, necessary to sustain life. However, the human body needs twenty essential amino acids. You already guess where the remaining nine amino acids can be found. Yes, you are right. The insufficiency of these nine amino acids can cause muscle wasting, weakness, lowered immune response, fatigue and changes to the skin and hair texture.

10. YOU’LL HAVE LESS STRESS AND ANXIETY
The lack of the nine amino acids can be compensated by consuming eggs, but if it is not compensated, it can have mental effects. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has published a study in 2004, in which is described how the levels of stress and anxiety can be reduced by supplementation the diet of the population with lysine, possibly by modulating serotonin in the nervous system.

11. YOU’LL PROTECT YOUR PEEPERS
Eggs contain two antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, which are proved to protect the eyes and the eye health. They are not present in a carton of Egg Beaters for example, because they only exist in the yolk. The antioxidants considerably lower the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts, some of the major causes of vision impairment and blindness among the older population. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has published a study which showed that the participants in the study who consumed 1.3 egg yolks a day over a four-and-a-half-week period experienced increased blood levels of zeaxanthin by 114-142 percent and lutein by 28-50 percent.

12. YOU’LL IMPROVE YOUR BONES AND TEETH
Vitamin D is rarely found in natural products, and it is very important for bones and teeth health and strength. As you might already guess, eggs contain this vitamin as well. This vitamin protects the bones and the teeth mainly by aiding the absorption of calcium. This mineral is essential for maintaining the health and the proper function of the heart, the colon and the metabolism.
