National Egg Day

Let’s all celebrate and enjoy National Egg Day.  On this June 3 holiday, break out of your shell and celebrate this incredible, healthy food holiday.

In 1968, the American Heart Association recommended limiting consumption to just three eggs per week. The concern was the high level of cholesterol in them. Years later nutritionists have determined the health benefits outweighed the bad. The high level of protein is good for your bones and muscles. They contain essential vitamins and micronutrients, most notably vitamins A, D, and E. It contains antioxidants that can slow down the aging process and improve vision. It has Omega-3 fats which are good for your heart. And, some studies suggest eating them can help you to lose weight .
