While once feared due to concerns over cholesterol, recent research has shown that eggs, particularly when consumed in moderation, offer a variety of health benefits.

Eating three eggs a day may sound excessive to some, but it can actually have numerous positive effects on your health. From boosting brain function to supporting muscle growth, the humble egg is a powerhouse of nutrients that can fit into any healthy diet. Let’s explore seven key benefits of eating three eggs a day and why you might want to consider including more eggs in your meals.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs (free-range or organic if possible)

Olive oil or butter for cooking (optional)
Instructions:
Choose Your Cooking Method:
Eggs are incredibly versatile, and there are various ways to enjoy them. You can scramble them, make a sunny-side-up, boil, poach, or even bake them. The key is to enjoy eggs in a way that works best for your taste preferences.
Prepare the Eggs:
Depending on your cooking method:
Scrambled: Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them well, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet with a little butter or olive oil, pour in the eggs, and stir constantly until cooked to your liking.
Boiled: Place eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Poached: Bring water to a simmer in a pot, crack each egg into a small bowl, and gently slide them into the water. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set.
Sunny-side-up: Heat a little oil or butter in a skillet, crack the eggs into the pan, and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny (or cook longer for a harder yolk).
Serve and Enjoy:
Eggs are delicious on their own or served alongside vegetables, whole-grain toast, avocado, or in your favorite dish like an omelette or frittata.
