Scrambled, hard-boiled, poached. There are so many ways to enjoy this simple food. According to a “WebMD” publication; about 95 million dozen eggs are eaten by Nigerians each year, or about 279 eggs per person each year. In the last few years, people have been eating more eggs. This is partly because eggs are so versatile and also because there are so many health benefits to them. Today, people think of eggs as a kind of “superfood,” because they are low in calories and high in nutrients. But that wasn’t always the case.
According to “healthline“, Eating eggs every day can be good for your health, but there are a few things you should watch out for. It’s also important to know that not all eggs are the same.
Below are 3 things that could happen to your body when you eat an egg everyday.
1. Eggs Could Help You Think Better If You Eat Them Every Day.
There is a lot of choline in eggs. Choline is important for brain health. A protein called acetylcholine is made and released with the help of choline, “Healthline,” Letter says. Acetylcholine helps neurons communicate with each other. It also plays a big role in thinking and remembering. People who have Alzheimer’s disease have less acetylcholine in their brains, and the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine is blocked by drugs that treat the early stages of the disease.
2. Eating Eggs May Help You Deal With Stress And Depression.
Eggs may also help protect against anxiety and depression because of the choline in them. “WebMD,” says that depression may be caused by low levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter made from choline that sends messages between brain cells. People have long thought that depression is caused by low levels of a different brain chemical: serotonin. This new theory says that serotonin is not the cause of depression
3. The More You Eat Eggs, The More Likely You Are To Get Some Types Of Cancer.
Is your morning scramble putting you at risk for cancer? According to a study in the “Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention“, those who ate the most eggs were more likely to get certain types of cancer than those who ate the least eggs. They were 2.86 times more likely to get breast cancer, 2.23 times more likely to get bladder cancer, and 2.02 times more likely to get oral and throat cancers if they were egg lovers.
