Nearly all the essential nutrients required for proper functioning of the human body are hiding under that shell. The consensus is that eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and 11 essential nutrients, and are one of the rare food sources of vitamins A, D and K. They are also an excellent source of choline, an essential nutrient that plays an important role in brain development and memory. Better yet, eggs are considered to be a "functional food." According to the Institute of Food Technologists, not only do these foods supply basic nutritional needs, they also play an important role in the healthy development of the body. So eating eggs means eating better. What's more, they are inexpensive and easy to prepare.

Yes, eggs have many uses. It is the perfect food because it is a cell that would normally turn into a new life. However, you shouldn't consume excess because even good things can be bad for you if you eat too much of them. It is full of fats and can contribute to high cholesterol levels.

According to the American Council on Science and Health, eggs are highly nutritious and an excellent source of high-quality protein, and they provide significant amounts of several vitamins and minerals. Recent research also indicates that egg eaters are more likely to have diets that provide proper amounts of essential nutrients. Eggs have also been shown to contain certain components that may have health benefits that go beyond basic nutrition; a substantial body of evidence shows that the consumption of eggs up to one per day has no detectable effect on heart disease risk in healthy people.
