Eggs are quite misunderstood due to the cholesterol they contain. But if your doctor has not restricted them due to a health problem with high cholesterol, then there are reasons to consume two eggs a day. After all, even with these two eggs you remain within the safe daily limits of cholesterol intake.
Let’s look at the reasons why you can include two pieces of this food in your daily diet:
1. If you consume them with the yolk, 2 eggs cover 90-100% of the daily needs in vitamin A and, importantly, in the form of retinol that is completely absorbed by the body (on the contrary, vitamin A in the form of carotene present in plant foods is converted and absorbed in a smaller percentage by the body). Retinol is beneficial for the eyes, as well as for the healthy and firm appearance of the skin.

2. They cover 50-60% of the daily needs of the body in folic acid
3. They cover 70-80% of the daily requirements in vitamin D
4. They are an excellent source of high quality protein and will keep us full for several hours with only a few calories
5. They cover 30% of the daily needs of the body in vitamin B2
6. They cover 40% of our daily selenium requirements
They also contain several more vitamins, such as E, B12, as well as phosphorus and iron. At the same time, thanks to the B vitamins and tryptophan they contain, they help with mental health, improve mood and help in good sleep. We recommend eating one egg in the morning and another in the evening, so that the intake of their nutrients is evenly distributed during the 24-hour period, as well as to take advantage of their benefits both in terms of improving mental health and better sleep quality. In any case, it is highly recommended to consume them boiled and not fried.
