Eggs Contain Essential Fatty Acids |
|
Enriched eggs offer a great source of fatty acids that you can add to your diet. These eggs are from chickens who roam freely and they have been fed flax seed and fish oil so they their eggs are higher in essential fatty acids than those you get from other chickens. According to the information at www.eggs.ca., chickens that are fed 10% flax have levels of Omega 3 and Omega 6 that are ten times higher than normal chicken eggs. These eggs offer you plenty of essential fatty acids while having less cholesterol, less monounsaturated fatty acids, and less saturated fat. Eating eggs that offer high amounts of fatty acids will help you feel better physically and mentally because these fatty acids are necessary for your body and brain to function normally. You will also reduce your chances of suffering from heart disease, stroke, depression, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and a variety of other diseases. In addition, Omega 3 is known to make individuals feel more alert and concentrate better. This is true for children who suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder as well. The chickens who consume flax seed containing the essential Omega 3 fatty acid ALA break it down into EPA and DHA. The eggs they produce also contain plenty of these two fatty acids. This is important for those who have diabetes because they aren’t able to convert Omega 3 fatty acids into EPA and DHA. A book The Novel Egg: Opportunities for Flax in Omega 3 Egg Production, says that Omega 3 enriched eggs offer you an average of .34 grams of ALA and .13 grams of EPA and DHA. There for they offer a significant level of fatty acids for people of all ages. Children under 3 can eat one egg and get 49% of their daily required fatty acids. Boys and men need to eat 3 eggs to get 1/4 of their daily intake while girls and women need to eat 3 eggs to get 1/3 of their daily intake. Essential fatty acids are necessary for physical and mental well being. Eggs can be a great source of such fatty acids. They can help protect you from various diseases including heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, and ttention deficit. They are also great for diabetics who can’t change ALA into EPA and DHA.
