Eggs are one of my favorite things to eat, they're super versatile, relatively healthy and DELICIOUS.
In this post youâll learn all about how eggs are a beauty superfood!
The Beauty Benefits of Eggs:
⥠A superfood for your hair.
Thatâs right! You can use egg whites on your hair. Theyâre filled with selenium, calcium & potassium to keep your hair nice & shiny.
⥠Help with hair growth.
Eggs are full of biotin which aids hair & nail growth.
⥠Nourish your skin.
Theyâre loaded with fatty acids that help moisturize your skin from the inside out, strengthen cell membranes, & also produce a healthy natural oil barrier.
⥠Tighten pores.
The albumin in egg whites can be put directly on your skin to tighten pores & remove excess oil.
⥠Prevent acne.
They have anti-bacterial properties that can help aging skin or acne prone skin.
The lutein in eggs provides hydration & elasticity for skin & accompanying protein helps repair tissue & keeps skin firm. Egg yolks in particular are loaded with fatty acids that add moisture to skin while egg whites include albumin, a simple protein that tightens pores & removes excess oil.
Other Benefits of Eggs:
⥠Increases energy.
The Vitamin B12 content in eggs can increase your energy levels.
⥠Can help with weight management.
Eggs are filling & also a great source of protein. Protein keeps you feeling fuller longer & can also help with weight loss while being full of nutrients.
TSC Hot Tip: always keep boiled eggs in the fridge. Theyâre so easy to grab on your way out the door so you donât end up at the Up & Atom drive-through in a hangry rage. LOL.
⥠Contain choline.
Many of us donât get enough choline which is crucial for healthy cell membranes & signaling our brain. Choline is a neurotransmitter that affects your mood & memory.
⥠Reduce risk of heart disease.
Eggs raise your âgoodâ cholesterol levels which in turn reduces your risk of heart disease.
⥠Great for eye health.
Lutein & Zeaxanthin are antioxidants that reduce instances of cataracts & macular degeneration. You should know egg yolks contain the most of these nutrients.
⥠Complete protein.
Eggs are a complete protein which means they contain all the amino acids which youâve probably heard âare the building blocks of our bodies.â
Whenever I buy eggs I try to get them at the Farmerâs Market. I just want the most organic, pasture-raised, high- quality eggs I can find. All the things please. Keep these benefits in mine, and eat up!
