Eggs are good for eyes as they contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients are found in eggs more than other food sources. Consuming eggs lowers the risk of cataracts. Eggs are also good source of Vitamin D and other vital vitamins, minerals and antioxidant. This gives you healthy nails and hair. Eggs are also low in saturated fat and can be considered a lean protein and this is a vital component to weight management, when accompanied by fresh vegetable.
