Eggs Benefit #8: Weight Management
Eggs are high in “good” fats called polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). PUFAs are important components for regulating hunger as well as blood glucose levels. Various studies have found that eggs can help a person feel satisfied and full for a longer period of time, thus preventing overeating.
Eggs are also sources of vitamin K that can help treat deficiencies related to gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac or Crohn’s disease. A study in Diabetes Care showed that individuals who consumed their daily recommended amount of vitamin K had a 25% lower chance of developing diabetes via weight gain and insulin resistance.
