Why Eggs Are Good For You

-
Eggs are popular at breakfast time and are often used as ingredients in a variety of dishes. For some years, eggs were shunned because they're high in cholesterol, but now we know that cholesterol from the foods you eat doesn't impact your blood cholesterol levels. 

Eggs are actually good for you because they're loaded with protein, vitamins, and minerals. And although eggs are a little high in fat, they're not too high in calories.
In fact, one egg has only about 80 calories. They're an excellent source of choline that's necessary for healthy cell membranes in all of your body, and for mental function and memory. They also offer some vitamin D, which is essential for absorption and utilization of calcium.

In addition, eggs contain folate and riboflavin, two B-complex vitamins that necessary for your body to convert the foods you eat into energy. You'll also get a dose of vitamin A from the yoke. Vitamin A is necessary for normal vision, general cell growth, and healthy skin.

Eating eggs may help protect your cells because they have some antioxidant potential due to vitamin E and selenium. They team up with vitamin C to prevent damage to your body from free radicals. And there's more -- lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants related to vitamin A and are also found in the yellow pigment of the egg yolk. 

Eggs are Diet-Friendly

The combination of fats and protein means eggs are very satisfying.
Eating one egg as part of a healthy breakfast may help you lose weight by keeping you from getting hungry later in the morning. 

To keep your eggs diet-ready, avoid extra butter or creamy sauces that will add a lot of extra calories. Try a poached egg on whole wheat toast, or have a hard boiled egg served alongside a bowl of oatmeal.

Scrambled eggs with lots of spinach and just a tiny bit of cheese make for an excellent breakfast dish too. Or if you like omelettes, choose lots of veggies and less meat.

One egg a day, any style you prefer, is all you need to get that nutrition that eggs have. What most of us get wrong, we forget that we need nutrition every day, eating three eggs twice a week isn't the same. Think about nutrition very time you eat something. That's called eating healthy.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
