To date, eggs belong to dietary products, and in fact about 14 years ago, dietology considered eggs as the culprit of heart attacks (due to the high content of cholesterol in the yolk). At the moment, the eggs have regained their fame, proving that egg white is one of the most easily digestible proteins of animal origin. And their caloric content is quite low at that - 69 calories in one medium egg. In addition to these, eggs have many more useful properties: only 1 egg will enrich the body with vitamins A (this vitamin is responsible for dental health, shine fiber and beauty nails), D (helps the body resist infections), E (a real assistant of women - it slows down aging and strengthens blood vessels), B6 (like vitamin E, slows down aging and helps nerve cells) and vitamin B12 (helps the body fight infections and colds, strengthens the immune system). Also, eggs contain a large number of minerals, such as iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iodine and phosphorus.
