Does the very thought of eating eggs make you worry that you are causing harm to your body? So much has been written negatively about eggs that many people believe that eggs are unhealthy. Yes, there is cholesterol in eggs, but the creator designed them so that natural lecithin absorbs cholesterol. The unsaturated fatty acids in eggs make them heart-healthy.
I have seen more people get heart disease and obesity from fried foods, prepared foods and never from eggs. I will see people eat French fries and not worry as much as when they eat an egg. The saturated fat in your morning muffin is three to four times higher than that in an egg! And the muffin doesn’t have the high-quality protein your body needs to function. The egg is the most complete and clean form of protein that we can consume. I believe that God knew what would best fuel our bodies and created the egg.
An important part of nutrition is feeding the brain, many foods provide incredible nutrition for the brain, one of the most valuable is the egg.
One of the important things to remember about eggs and protein is that the brain requires 85% of what we consume as nutrition. Unfortunately, most diets are not geared towards foods that feed the brain. Eggs contain the necessary protein that the brain needs to function. Plus, eggs are rich in lecithin, which is a powerful brain nutrient. The protein value of eggs is indisputable. And the ease of digestion makes this an ideal food for any age group. Its versatility in the kitchen makes it an indispensable part of the culinary kitchen.
I also want to point out that eggs that are not fertile free-range eggs are not filled with the essence of life. What I mean by that is if you take an egg that you bought from a regular supermarket and put it under a chicken, nothing would happen? Nothing. Why? Because the chicken has been subjected to hormonal treatments to increase size and productivity. They also receive antibiotics to reduce infections from being confined to cages. All of these treatments enter the DNA of the egg. So therefore you are eating hormones and antibiotics indirectly. A good visual comparison is to compare a fertile egg to a regular store-bought egg. Open one of each and you will see the color difference on the yoke. The fertile egg has an orange yolk in appearance, while the normal egg is pale yellow in color. The colors alone tell you the difference in nutrition.
One of the most recent studies has found that girls under the age of 10 who regularly consume fast food have started to develop breasts due to the hormone-filled meats fed indirectly to cattle. Remember that chickens are also fed hormones! That’s why it’s important to get eggs that come from fertile, range-fed hens.
If you place a fertile egg under a hen, you will get a chick. The reason why the essence of life has not been removed from the DNA of that ovum. Therefore, when you eat a fertile egg, you are getting the very essence of life! Name any other protein that can offer that! Now see why I believe hatching eggs are your best bet for high-quality protein.
