Eggs are some of the best sources of both of these eye essentials. Just make sure to eat the yolk, as this is where these powerhouses reside.     

2.    Good Fats

If you’re worried about the fat found in eggs, you don’t need to be. In fact, the recently released 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans even changed its recommendations when it comes to eggs and health-giving eggs the green light.

But why is this?

According to an article published in SF Gate, “eggs provide heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, also known as MUFAs and PUFAs.”  And while eggs do contain a small amount of saturated fat (two of the five grams of fat found in one egg), eggs contain more good fat than bad fat.  

3.    Heart Health

In the past, you may have been told to limit egg consumption due to the effects of egg yolks on cholesterol. The good news is that this once-popular assumption is now out of date. In fact, healthcare professionals now say that eating an egg a day (or seven eggs per week) will not raise your risk of cardiovascular disease.

So just why did this “change in heart” take place?
