Eggs are an incredibly versatile food item, used in a wide range of dishes and also delicious on their own. Their versatility is evident as they are incorporated into both sweet and savory recipes, from frying batter for crispy chicken wings to delightful cakes. Eggs are an essential and integral ingredient in many dishes.

One of the most common ways to enjoy eggs is by boiling them. Known as ‘boiled eggs’, they are tasty, healthy, easy to make, and take just a few minutes to cook. Here are a few health benefits of eating one or two boiled eggs a day:

  1. Eggs Can Lower Triglycerides Triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease. When you eat, any fat not immediately needed is converted into triglycerides, found in your blood and fat cells. Omega-3 enriched eggs contain fatty acids that reduce blood triglycerides. However, this benefit is specific to Omega-3 enriched eggs or those from pasture-fed chickens.
  2. Eggs Can Lower the Risk of Breast Cancer A Harvard University study found that consuming eggs can lower the risk of breast cancer, especially when consumed during adolescence. Another study showed that women who ate at least six eggs per week had a 44% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who ate fewer eggs. The choline in eggs also helps protect against breast cancer risk.
  3. Eggs Are Good for Brain Health An egg contains 125.5 milligrams of choline, about a quarter of the daily requirement. Choline is essential for heart health and crucial for brain function, helping to regulate memory and mood. Studies have shown that it enhances cognitive functions like visual and verbal memory. Choline is also vital during pregnancy and breastfeeding for the baby’s brain development.
  4. Essential Mineral Intake Eggs are rich in essential minerals like iron, zinc, and phosphorus. Zinc supports the immune system and energy metabolism, while iron is particularly important for women due to menstruation. Eggs are also high in iodine, necessary for thyroid hormone production, and selenium.
  5. High-Quality Protein Adequate protein intake is vital for a healthy body. Proteins are the building blocks of tissues, serving various structural and functional roles. A single large egg contains around six grams of protein and all the essential amino acids, supporting protein functions in the body. Sufficient protein intake is crucial for stronger bones, increased muscle mass, and weight loss.
