Hungry Panda Bear's EGG

Bite me bite me bite me :P

Hungry Panda Bear is having egg for breakfast this morning...... thought it would be fun to learn about EGG.....

Eggs contain several important nutrients:

• Choline is necessary for healthy cell membranes in all of your body, and will help your body keep homocysteine levels down. Choline is also good for your mental function and memory.
• Selenium is a mineral that your body needs for a strong immune system and it is a powerful antioxidant.
• B vitamins folate and riboflavin are necessary for your body to convert the foods you eat into energy. Folate also reduces homocysteine levels and is important for prevention of birth defects.
• Vitamin A is important for good night vision, general cell growth and for healthy skin.
• Vitamin E is an antioxidant that works well with vitamin C and selenium to prevent damage to your body from free radicals.
• Lutein and zeaxanthin are related to vitamin A and are found in the yellow pigment of the egg yolk. Lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the retina of your eye and will help prevent macular degeneration.

Healthier Eggs - the Omega-3 Eggs

Chickens that are fed healthier feeds with seeds containing omega-3 fatty acids actually lay eggs with healthier fats in the yolks. In fact, eating these enriched eggs may improve your cholesterol and blood lipids.

Enjoy a great day, Hungry Panda Bear @.@
