Eggs are a great source of high quality protein and  the evidence is strong that you may get many of the nutrients you need from eating eggs. Did you know that Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister, ate eggs daily as a major part of weight-loss program in 1979? One egg is about 70 calories and has 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. The egg white portion of the egg contains about 3.5 grams of the total protein. The remaining 2.5 grams plus the 5 grams of fat are in the yolk. In order to safely enjoy an egg every day without worrying about accumulating bad cholesterol or Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) , just eat the egg white and throw away the yolk. This will limit your fat and cholesterol intake. Also, consider chewing one or two cloves of raw garlic every morning . If you are concerned about the strong smell of garlic, you may swallow two cloves twice a day. chidebe26@gmail.com , chidec2001@yahoo.com ...
