Things You Didn't Know About Eggs...

I eat one or two eggs almost daily, and they are always the organic, omega 3 eggs! 

Eggs are a delicious way to get a battery of B-vitamins, nutrients, and protein. Although there is some controversy over their effect on heart health, most experts agree that a diet that includes eggs is a healthy one. One study even found that a breakfast of eggs, when compared to cereal or no breakfast at all, helped people reduce cravings for sugary and fatty foods later in the day.

Eggs are the "gold standard" when it comes to protein quality. That's because all of the protein found in an egg can be absorbed and used by the body,
Egg Yolks Help Brain Development!  Egg yolks are one of the richest dietary sources of the B-complex vitamin choline, which is associated with better neurological function and reduced inflammation. Additionally, there's evidence that dietary choline helps with fetal brain development when pregnant women eat it.

A diet rich in choline is also associated with, well, happiness. Choline breaks down into bethane, which is used during the methylation cycle, which in turn helps produce "happiness" hormones (and neurotransmitters) like serotonin, dopamine and norephinephrine.
