The Incredible Impact of Eating Eggs Daily – Dr. Berg's Top Reasons for Doing It

Today I'm going to talk about why I eat four

eggs

a day and why you should too. You're probably wondering why I consider myself an egg-on-egg spirit. That's an excellent question. Sorry I had to do that, but it's mostly. Because I've been

eating

so many

eggs

for so many years, that makes me an expert, but there is some really interesting information about eggs and why you should eat more of them now. The first point I want to mention is that you can't. I can really tell how good an egg is by the color of the yolk, at least recently because they actually use synthetic dyes now that give the chickens the yolk color exactly how the farmer wants and there are actually 15 different shades between yellow and orange. that you can choose to determine what color your egg yolk will be, so unfortunately the egg yolk today doesn't really tell you the amount of nutrients in that egg yolk, they also use different colorings in the meat so you can give it the lap. chicken meat from pale white to a yellow or beige color, so apparently consumers demand a certain color of their chicken meat and egg yolks, but if you don't use these color dyes and look at the actual color of the yolk, you can tell how many carotenoids there are in that egg, you can't know the nutrition by the color of the shell, that's fine, because they come in different colors, which doesn't give you much data, the nutrition of an egg and a Chicken is determined by how they are raised and what they are fed and unfortunately chickens today just don't have any flavor, since chicken breast is bland, they actually have to flavor it.

I'm not kidding, next time you go to the store, look at the label on the chicken breast and you're going to notice that it has natural flavorings or even artificial flavorings because you're trying to make this bland, tasteless piece of meat taste more like chicken. , so unfortunately we've bred chickens for size and we want chickens that can grow fast because chickens are sold by weight now in 2015, the cost of a chicken was like seven dollars, okay, to me that's pretty cheap because I mean , you have to raise the chicken, you have to take care of it, how are you going to make any profit?

If you have to feed the chicken grain and most of these chickens that are conventionally sold are fed grain, they're not allowed to go out and eat bugs or worms or anything like that, but in 1948 the cost of a chicken now was like three Dollars. If we compare that with today's dollar, it would be like buying a chicken for 30 dollars and that is because the quality back then was much higher than today. Before we get into the benefits of eggs, I want to quickly talk about different terms they use for eggs, so you have free-range eggs, what does that really mean?

Well it means they are not in a cage, they are cage free, but it doesn't really mean they can go outside, it just means they have access to the outside and they don't define the axis, it could be some little hole in the barn that they never find, Also, the verification process in the free range is not followed by an on-site inspection, so there are a lot of large areas when you talk about free range and then when we get to the free range it means they are right outside the cage, which It's a step forward and what about the Grade A well?

That means the shape of the shell is really nice and has no cracks, so it's really just a marketing thing, I'm sure you never come home and say, wow, honey, I've got some grade A eggs, they're perfectly fine. round and have no cracks, then you have pasteurized eggs, right? That doesn't mean grass. raised well, raised in an outdoor pasture, means they are heated, which preserves them, makes them last longer and then they are fed a proper vegetarian diet and yet this sounds wonderful. Vegetarian feeding means you are feeding them grains like soy and corn, which are GMO, so I would recommend buying organically raised pasta type eggs now, what's better than that, we will buy your eggs at a farmers market or if you have a little space, put your head up and get your eggs that way, and these are the kind of eggs that they produce, they produce a lot of eggs even in winter, which is something they're not normally supposed to produce.

We have like 16 eggs every day, so we're still trying to figure out what to do with all these eggs, but Man, there's such a big difference between these eggs that we consume and the eggs that you buy at the store and I'm

doing

a lot of experiments in growing them. of animals and also in growing vegetables, trying certain things in different soils, feeding the animals different things. to see what produces the healthiest animal and the healthiest plant and I will post it on a new YouTube channel, but I will say that raising your own chickens using organic grains without corn or soy is quite expensive, so we are experimenting in different ways. of feeding animals that are not only healthier but also cheaper, I mean, look at this right here, this is called fodder, it's sprouted barley, you start with a certain amount of barley seed and then you let it germinate for seven days and increases its weight seven times.

This is like crack for your chickens, they love it, so I'll keep you posted on that very soon. Ok, now let's talk about the benefits of eggs and why you should eat eggs and realize that I don't eat them for a long time. breakfast I eat them in my lunch because I'm fasting of course it's a late lunch it's probably around 2 2 30 maybe sometimes three o'clock so number one the protein in the eggs is higher and than what I'm talking about is the anabolic effect, which means the ability of that egg to help build protein tissues in your body and the percentage of the amount of egg protein that is converted into body protein, such as muscles, joints and other proteins. also, so if we exclude breast milk, the protein is at 48, so 48. it turns into body tissue if we talk about meat or fish it's only 32 and when we talk about soy protein it's like 17 and as a side note the clear of egg is only 17 when you add the yolk there you get a higher utilization which is interesting and then whey protein is only 16 so what happens to the other part of this protein?

Well, it is converted into glucose and used as fuel. Now there's another little thing about this that I want to mention and it's called the insulin index. I talk about this in my book. but the insulin index is the scale of how a non-carbohydrate food influences insulin and whole eggs with cholesterol have a much lower insulin effect than egg whites, so the more you remove the fat and take it As a pure protein like whey protein, the higher the insulin spike, so eggs, if you compare it to anything else, are basically the best protein for you.

The next point is the hill. Choline is really good for the brain. Choline acts as a bile salt in the liver. It helps break down cholesterol so it's a good antidote for gallstones it's a good antidote for fatty liver and then we come to lecithin which is also another antidote for cholesterol to keep cholesterol under control because eggs come with cholesterol and a lot of people are worried about cholesterol, in fact there was a study that said that

eating

eggs increases the risk of death from a heart attack I think in 17 years, but I made a whole video about it.

I'll put the link below. It's a ridiculous study based on a questionnaire that I wouldn't even do. Call it a study because this association was very weak and they didn't talk about the million other variables that could have caused heart attacks and without getting into that too much, eggs will raise your HDL, uh, more than LDL, but that's for a different topic. . Now, the other interesting thing about eggs is that they have a good amount of vitamin K2 which keeps calcium out of the arteries and keeps calcium out of the joints, and eggs also have vitamin D, so vitamin D and vitamin K2 work together and there are many foods that will give you vitamin D.

Eggs also have vitamin E, good for the heart, good for the skin and eggs are loaded with vitamin A, a type that is extremely bioavailable and is called retinol, so some of these pigments in vitamin A. The complexes are like yellow-orange, so the more intense the color, the more vitamin A you will get and eggs have omega-3 fatty acids, especially if they make a lot noise outside, so they can eat worms and insects. Eggs are loaded with vitamin B. b1 b2 b3 b6 b12 now did I mention that I feed my chickens an organic grain without soy and without corn, that grain is fermented for three days to release many B vitamins and other nutrients that are locked in that grain and not Just because it is more nutritious, you can feed them less because it helps their digestion.

Eggs also have trace elements and minerals. Eggs also have carotenoids. OK, it's a nutrient-dense pigment that gives the yolk its color, but it also has many health benefits. Now the two big carotenoids are lutein number one, which is yellow, and zeaxanthin, which is more orange. Both pigments greatly improve the eye; In fact, the highest concentration of these carotenoids is found in the eye, which is why they support the lens and retina, helping to prevent. macular degeneration, they help reduce the blue light that you are exposed to with all your computers and cell phones, etc., but there are many other benefits for your brain as well.

Now a question that has been asked is how do you prepare an egg to maximize the nutrition of the egg because if you are going to heat it too much you could destroy some of the carotenoids so poaching it or making it too easy would be a great way to do it or, If you want scrambled, what I would recommend is crack. the egg inside the pan let the whites turn a little white and then lower the heat and then mix and stir after the white part has turned a little white, this allows you to retain a lot of these nutrients compared to taking your egg in a bowl and mix it and then put it in the pan so now that you know the benefits of eggs, if you are a small person maybe just eat one or two eggs, if you are a bigger person, eat three or four and If you have any considerations about cholesterol and eggs, you should watch this video right here.
