Eggs! |
So when I received a request if I could share a blog about organic eggs, I did not think twice. I was even excited to share how healthy and delicious Bounty Fresh eggs are. At last, the secret was revealed. If you attended the World Egg Day celebration, you know what I am talking about. However, for those who missed it I'm sharing some relevant information about eggs.
Bounty Fresh Leads World Egg Day Celebration
Last week, Bounty Fresh lead the celebration of World Egg Day in Eastwood Mall. Bounty Fresh is one of the country’s top egg producer aims to promote the health benefits of consuming eggs daily. Bounty Fresh promised it will be an annual celebration of World Egg Day. Similar efforts have been done in other countries like Australia, USA, The UK, France, Brazil, Austria and neighboring Asian countries like Vietnam and Indonesia, to name a few.
With its state of the art facilities and using healthy feeds on layer hens to ensure high quality eggs, Bounty Fresh has become the Gold Standard in the Philippines as far as eggs are concerned. Given its standing in the industry, Bounty Fresh wants more Filipinos to add eggs into their regular meal because they are affordable sources of protein, vitamins and minerals necessary in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Health Benefits of Eating Eggs everyday
Did you know that an egg has 187 mg of cholesterol, way below the recommended limit of 300 mg per day, or only 200 mg if one has diabetes or heart disease. While table eggs may cause mild increases in Total and LDL cholesterol levels, this is not a cause for alarm. Eggs consistently raise HDL (the “good”) cholesterol. In fact, studies show that up to 3 whole eggs per day are recommended.
Bounty Fresh makes sure that they produce high quality eggs by providing their hens the best care and comfort by housing them in environmentally controlled and fully automated houses that are tunnel ventilated. These hens are also given complete vaccination against diseases and are subject to a medication program designed to boost their immune system.
As attested by credible agencies such as the Food Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), eggs are very good source of affordable, high quality protein. Eggs are rich in vitamins D, B6 and B12, as well as a good source of minerals such as zinc, iron and copper, as well as choline.
With these vitamins and minerals found on eggs, it help strengthen our muscles and immune system. Eggs also boost the health of the brain and aids in energy production. Eggs helps lower the risk of heart diseases mainly because of choline, which helps in breaking down the amino acid homocysteine that is associated with the development of heart diseases.
Eggs are also recommended for pregnancy as the nutrients help prevent congenital disabilities such as spina bifida. In addition, eggs aid weight loss and maintenance, improve eyesight and promote healthier skin.

Brown vs White Eggs. Which is more nutritious?
Brown and white eggs are equally the same, they just came from different type of chicken. Brown eggs are laid by bigger chickens. On the other hand, white eggs came from smaller chickens with white earlobes.

You see, there are lots of benefits of eating eggs. Personally, I go for organic eggs and the free-range specialty eggs. We can find these kinds of eggs from Bounty Fresh. They are available in all supermarkets. I will share some healthy, easy-to-prepare snacks using eggs so keep coming back.

I actually also use Bounty Fresh organic eggs! I didn't know I can consume up to 3 eggs a day. Parang I grew up with my mom telling me that I can only have one egg a day. Hehe. I learned something new today! :)
