Eggland’s Best Eggs: Part of a Fitness Routine
While exercising, people need enough carbohydrates and protein for energy and muscle development. Adequate protein is especially needed for maintaining health before and after workouts. If, while exercising, people fail to take-in enough calories from cholesterol and fat, the body will burn muscle protein for energy, thereby creating a “self-destructive” situation for the body. Eggland’s Best eggs offer the body the most complete and natural source of high-quality protein, while replenishing essential amino acids in the body used during exercise. Additionally, oxidative damage, caused by free-radical production in the body as a result of exercise, can be significantly offset by Vitamin E, Omega 3 and lutein intake.
Vitamin E - found in wheat germ oil, nuts and seeds, whole grains, egg yolks, and leafy green vegetables - is an antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other fat-soluble parts of the body from damage. Eggland’s Best eggs are a superb natural source of Vitamin E, with 10 times more Vitamin E than in an ordinary egg.
Studies show that not all fats are damaging to your health. Some are protective and essential, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, which cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through food sources. Omega-3 essential fatty acids can come from either plant or marine sources. Linolenic acid, the marine source, can be found in certain fatty fish. These fish and fish oil supplements contain DHA and EPA acid, the two kinds of Omega-3 fatty acids crucial to good health. The plant-based omega-3 alpha linolenic acid (alpha meaning plant) can be found in omega-3 rich oils, such as flaxseed, canola, soybean, and walnut oils. These plant sourced omega-3 fatty acids don’t metabolize in the body like fish oil. They need to be broken down by the body’s enzymatic system into DHA and EPA before the body can reap its powerful benefits. Because of our unique patented all-natural, all-vegetarian hen feed, Eggland’s Best Eggs offer a great source of essential fatty acids that contain three times more Omega-3 essential fats than ordinary eggs.
Eggland’s Best eggs are the ideal fitness food because they are fresh, packed with essential vitamins, all-natural and taste delicious!
