Eggzactly; A Useless Myth
How to eat well and set yourself up to face the rigours of the day ahead? Why, eating a well-balanced and nutritious breakfast, that's how. Partake of citrus fruit for those needed C vitamins, and carbohydrates in the form of toast, and then for protein, think eggs.
Tea or coffee can accompany this excellent breakfast, and you'll be the better for it. Your brain needs protein and glucose to enable it to function well, and your body can use that fast-acting fructose in the fruit, the slower-acting carbohydrate and protein. And you're set for the morning.
The day, actually, since having a well-balanced and nutritious breakfast sets the order of the day. You think clearly; your body operates to its maximum efficiency.
No need of snacks in between breakfast and lunch, and lunch doesn't have to be overwhelmingly heavy in nature; a salad will do, along with a bowl of soup. Dinner is another story altogether, where one repeats the vegetable-fruit, protein and carbohydrate formula in an opportunistically more generous and adventurous presentation.
Eggs every morning of the week? Weren't we solemnly informed that no more than three eggs a week should be tolerated because of their high saturated fat content, sure to spike high cholesterol levels? Ain't so. A mere one-third of our body cholesterol is derived from the food we eat.
And eggs, presenting as the perfect food, one of nature's most nutritionally dense, are not only delicious, can be prepared in a multitude of ways, but satisfying to our appetite and needs.
The British Nutrition Foundations' Nutrition Bulletin has published a study that points out that the nutritional and medical community's warning that eating eggs dangerously increased peoples' cholesterol levels was a misguided myth.
That's nice to hear, but we knew that, anyway. And, knowing that, we simply continued to eat eggs to our hearts' content, for breakfast and occasionally when cereal was substituted for breakfast, we might consider a hearty cheese and herb omelette for lunch or dinner.
Got that? The cholesterol in eggs results in a clinically insignificant effect on blood cholesterol. And while you're at it, enjoying those daily egg breakfasts, remember you also need to indulge in physical exercise, even it's just briskly walking to a daily destination.
