How many eggs can you eat a week?
This is one of the most common questions when it comes to “forbidden foods”, yet egg hen should only be recognized and exalted for the nutritional properties that characterize it. Let’s see why, hoping to contribute to the end of the demonization of such precious food.
Whole eggs occupy the first place in the scale of foods of high biological value, because they contain all the essential amino acids (which the human organism is not capable of synthesizing and must therefore take on food) and all in usable form. Already this characteristic makes us understand how egg is fundamental in some moments of life, for example to promote growth in the baby and the adolescent, or to counteract muscle loss in the elder. And this is only the beginning.
