EGGS = MULTIVITAMIN

NATURE'S ALLERGY RELIEF NATURE + OPTIONS

NATURE'S ALLERGY RELIEF NATURE + OPTIONS

 The season of eggs, well if you celebrate Easter you’ll be decorating a few, then hiding them for the littles. But really eggs are always in season!  

They call eggs “nature’s multivitamin” and in much of the research found the benefits far out way the drawbacks. 

Ultimately eggs are different for every person depending on the persons fitness, health and lifestyle. 


Check out below the contents of an egg: 


  •  Protein 
  • Fat 
  • Saturated Fat 
  • Iron Vitamins 
  • Minerals 
  • Carotenoids  


First let’s start out with the benefits of an egg, keep in mind eggs have all the amino acids to survive. They also provide you with complete protein.  


Amino Acids in an egg:  

  • Histidine 
  • Isoleucine 
  • Leucine 
  • Lysine 
  • Methionine 
  • Phenylalanine 
  • Threonine 
  • Tryptophan 
  • Valine  


Vitamins in an egg:  

  • Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 
  • Vitamin D 
  • Vitamin E 
  • Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 
  • Vitamin B12 
  • Vitamin A       


Nutrients in eggs:  

  • Choline 
  • Iron 
  • Phosphorus 
  • Folate 
  • Iodine 
  • Selenium 
  • Zinc  


Antioxidants in an egg:  

  • Lutein 
  • Zeaxanthin   


EGG NOTE: The nutrient content of an egg largely depends on how the hens are raised and fed. Organic Farm Fresh is always best but if you have to shop at the grocery store then Organic Omega-3 enriched or pastured eggs tend to be richer in healthy nutrients.  


As a drawback for eggs it's different for every person depending on the persons fitness, health and lifestyle; as eggs do contain cholesterol. 


The cholesterol from eggs is a type of fat that is essential for the structure of cell membranes, hormone production, Vitamin D synthesis and the digestion of bile acids.  With that said you have to consider each person’s needs and body type. 


If you need to watch your cholesterol stick to egg whites, all the cholesterol is found in the yolk. So eating egg whites only allows you to enjoy eggs without eating cholesterol.   


The only other drawback was the possibility of salmonella, this is found in raw eggs. So just make sure to cook your eggs and handle them properly.   


Other than that you can add eggs to your list of superfoods!

RECIPE

Elderberry Syrup

INGREDIENTS:
2/3 Cup Dried Elderberries
3 Cups Spring Water
2 T Fresh Sliced Ginger
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 tsp Cloves
1 Cup Local Raw Honey


Make It Like So:
Place elderberries, water, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a pot. Stir in 1 cup of honey. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes to one hour.


Remove from heat and using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain out mixture. Transfer liquid to a glass jar, let liquid come to room temperature.


Keep in the fridge sealed for up to 2-3 weeks.

 There is no standard dose of elderberry, I enjoy 1 T up to four times a day during flu season. Some enjoy elderberry syrup every day as elderberry has many health benefits. For more information on elderberries and their benefits please see the wonderful article below.

*You can add 1 tsp of cayenne for extra heat. (spicy)
