Why are eggs good for you

• Eggs are keto friendly and are known for several health benefits. They are almost zero carb which is great for those watching their carb intake. They will keep your blood sugar levels healthy and are a great ketogenic option for those with insulin resistance.
• Eggs are high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B12 and selenium. They are a great source of choline and phytonutrients which help protect eye health. In fact, they are one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
• Eggs contain the highest quality protein that is easily absorbed and used by the body. Sufficient protein is what you need if you want to lose weight as protein will keep hunger at bay when following a lchf diet.
• Egg yolks are high in cholesterol which has given them an unfairly bad reputation for causing heart disease. In fact, cholesterol is heart-protective and eating whole eggs may help reduce heart disease risk.
