Nutritional Info

Egg Yolks Are Good For You!

Yes you read that right. Whole Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet…provided one opts for pasture-raised eggs,organic or free-range eggs!

The egg yolks have long been unfairly demonized for being a bad source of food because they contain fats and raise cholesterol.

That couldn’t be far from the truth. When consumed in a limited quantity with a balanced diet, eggs have the potential to improve one’s good cholesterol. ^{1<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18203890/>, 2<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23021013/>, 3<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8120521/>}

The yolks are not our enemies, eaten carefully they can play their role of a nutritional powerhouse. A food source as good as this should be utilized to its optimal capacity.

Vegetables

It is always said that we should eat our vegetables but no one really says why except the occasional “it will make you strong”

Well that statement is most definitely correct because vegetables are abundant in a host of vitamins and minerals apart from the carbohydrates and protein.

Human bodies need a wide variety of vitamins and minerals for optimal functioning and in most cases, vegetables are the easiest source to fulfil those requirements. Different colours of vegetables offer different kinds of benefits.

However, there is something that makes vegetables count as foods good for gut health because they provide us with essential fiber as well. This fiber helps add volume to our stool as well as provide food for the gut bacteria. The healthier the gut, the better our lives become. Read more about fiber here.

It’s always a good idea to go for fresh regional vegetables, preferably organic as vegetables are at their best when they’re in season. They add variety of colours, nutrients and flavors to our meals. 

This will also ensure that you can avoid most of the nutritional deficiencies with careful planning.

So considering the benefits of eggs and vegetables as they stand, it makes for a fabulous recipe for the week with scrambled eggs with sauté vegetables. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 🙂
