Eggs

One Incredible Food


Remember all those television commercials in the 90's for the incredible, edible egg? Well, it turns out to be a worthy title! Not only are eggs a fantastic source of lean protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, but they contain some pretty important nutrients. L-arginine, an amino acid found in eggs, are critical to the body's production of protein and the release of growth hormone. Another amino acid found in eggs, leucine, also helps the body produce growth hormone as well as regulate blood sugar levels. With all the amazing things going on inside that delicate shell, eggs are a nearly perfect food. Pair it with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice and you'll get the one thing that's missing — vitamin C.
