Eating more eggs is a fantastic way to give yourself a health boost. Eating whole eggs is vital: the goodness of eggs is found in the yolk (containing over 90 percent of an egg’s calcium and iron) and the white (containing almost half the egg’s protein). If you’re not eating eggs regularly, here are five reasons why you should.
1. Get your vitamins
2. Boost your weight loss
3. Take in essential minerals
4. Indulge in low-calorie protein
5. Prevent breast cancer
Prawns are great supplier of proteins and low in fat and calories which make them a healthy food.
