Eat Eggs to Sharpen Your Senses

As a healthy eater, you may be concerned about adding eggs to your diet. The reports often contradict one another – with some experts saying you should limit your intake to two per week and others saying two a day are okay.

Eggs provide certain health benefits aside from providing the protein you need each day. The protein factor is perfect for dieters because eggs make you feel full after eating them.

In fact, eating just two eggs in the morning has been known to reduce caloric intake by up to 400 calories according to the Rochester Center for Obesity in Michigan.

Another benefit eggs offer is that they provide eyesight protection. Because eggs contain the antioxidant lutein, which is packed into the yolks, you get a built-in safeguard against damage to your retina.

Lutein in the eggs stops any inflammation of the macular pigment, which is what shelters your retina from harmful light rays.

Want to boost your brainpower a bit? Eggs can even help your memory since a single egg yolk delivers 300 mcg of choline.

Choline is one of the most powerful components f acetylcholine, which has been proven to provide flexibility to neurons in the brain that keep your memory intact.

By ingesting a single egg, you’ve helped your neurons accept, process, and store information more quickly and efficiently.

If you’ve been plagued by urinary tract infections (UTIs), then you might also be glad to hear that eggs can help you stave them off in the future.

Eggs contain peptides, which are found in the whites of eggs as a protein that binds to the infectious E. coli bacteria and doesn’t let them latch on to the walls of the urinary tract.

Before you jump to conclusions that all eggs are bad for your health, you should weigh the information and where it’s coming from.

A Harvard School of Public Health study found no link between the consumption of eggs and heart disease. Some studies even show it improves your protection against stroke and heart attacks.

Saturated fat is what contributes to a rise in cholesterol, and eggs only contain 1.5 grams of saturated fat and 5 grams of the “right kind” of fat you want to put in your body.

In addition to being healthy, eggs contribute some beauty basics your body needs, like helping your hair and nails by providing sulpher, vitamins, and minerals.

Substitute Flavor for Salt at Every Meal

Many people don’t worry about sodium in their diet unless their doctor has specifically told them to cut down on it.

So they sit down to an otherwise healthy meal absent of high fat and calories and then spoil it by using an excessive amount of salt.

Even without adding sodium to your plate, your diet is probably already exceeding the normal limits of what the FDA recommends.

Since most people habitually add salt to their meals, the doses they’re receiving cause them to take in up to three times as much sodium as necessary.

This overdosing on salt leads to over 150,000 deaths each year, so it’s vital that you shake your sodium habit and learn to infuse flavor without risking your health.

One way to add flavor without the negative side effect salt delivers is to use a quick spray of lemon juice or a pinch of sugar on your foods instead.

Both of these options help bring out the natural freshness and flavor of vegetables.

Garlic, dill, basil, and parsley also allow you to pull out the flavor of the food without having to rely on sodium to do the job for you.

While sodium is the flavor enhancer of choice for most households, many canned, processed, and even frozen foods are already full of this ingredient.

In fact, a single fast food meal can supply more than twice your daily limit of sodium.

The biggest offenders for over-delivering on sodium are cheese, bacon, and soy sauce. Instead of using these ingredients, spice up your dish with ginger, rice vinegar, or lime juice.

Some foods mask their sodium content so that you don’t even know it’s in there. A Java Chip Frappuccino from Starbucks packs in 300 mg of sodium.

Baked cookies, doughnuts, and bread can contain baking soda, which houses 1,259 mg of sodium per teaspoon.

If you want to cook some vegetables and flavor them up, instead of reaching for the salt shaker, try roasting them in an effort to caramelize their natural sugars.

This brings out a rich flavor that will replace your craving for salt once your tastebuds get used to it.

Make immediate choices to cut down on the excessive sodium in your diet. Too much of this ingredient can cause fluid retention, blood pressure problems, and artery damage.

It can also bring an elevated risk of certain cancers and cause stomach disease, and osteoporosis.

Give yourself at least 30 days to begin enjoying the natural flavors of food again and you won’t miss the salt you’ve been adding to your diet.
