The controversial breakfast food that beats away diabetes risk
My family’s favorite breakfast food is eggs and always has been – whether they’re scrambled, fried, sunny side up, poached or boiled we start our morning with at least one egg per person.
What’s funny is that when people hear that, many are still shocked and stuck in the past, thinking of eggs as unhealthy and bad for your cholesterol.
But, let’s put those fears away once and for all.
Eggs are not only good for you, but they are also one of the healthiest ways to start your day.
In fact, a new study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland has now proven that if you want to avoid type 2 diabetes, eggs could be the answer.
Here’s why…

An egg a day keeps blood sugar problems away
The research, published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, was a follow-up by the same investigators who found that eating roughly one egg per day was associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes among middle-aged men participating in the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study in eastern Finland.
Once they knew that eggs could stave off diabetes, they wanted to know why…
The study found that the blood samples of men who ate more eggs included certain lipid molecules that positively correlated with the blood profile of men who remained free of type 2 diabetes.
In other words, it changed the men’s metabolic profile for the better, preventing the risk factors that lead to those damaging blood sugar problems.
More breakfast benefits
And, warding off diabetes isn’t the only reason you should eat eggs.
Despite the fact that they’re one of the most controversial food items, thanks to their cholesterol content, the health effects of consuming eggs are far-reaching.
In fact, as my colleague, Jenny Smiechowski, reported, a team of researchers from China and the UK found that eating that same one egg per day could:
- Lower your risk of hemorrhagic stroke by 6 percent
- Reduce your risk of dying from a hemorrhagic stroke by 28 percent
- And, lower your risk of dying from heart disease by a full 18 percent
And, that’s not all…
Research has also shown that eggs can help you build the muscle that’s so easy to lose as you age – and that simply by eating 18 grams of protein from a whole egg or egg whites alone, you can increase your muscle building process by a whopping 40 percent post exercise.
Yet, even that doesn’t sum up the benefits of eggs for breakfast.
That’s because they could also help you curb cravings and drop the extra weight you’ve been carrying around since a study at the University of Connecticut found that men who chose eggs for breakfast consumed 18 percent fewer calories throughout the day than those who opted for cereal or other carbohydrate-packed breakfast foods.
So, when you step into the kitchen tomorrow morning, crack up the most eggcellent breakfast you can think of. It’s the best way to start your day for a healthier you.
