    Re: It's Time to choose nonveg for better health.. Good ness of Egg

    So let me start with Eggs first...

    No longer the demon of the grocery cooler, eggs are now recognized to have plenty of nutritional benefits. Here are five reasons to crack one open today


    1. Get your vitamins


    One little egg is packed with several vitamins essential to your health:

    • Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which helps your body to break down food into energy
    • Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vital for producing red blood cells
    • Vitamin A (retinol), which is great for your eyesight
    • Vitamin E (tocopherol), which fights off the free radicals that can cause tissue and cellular damage, which may lead to cancer

    Vitamins A and B2 are also important for growth—so make sure your kids are eating eggs regularly, too.
    2. Boost your weight loss


    Did you know that eating eggs can help you lose weight? This might come as a surprise to those who think of eggs as “fattening” or “unhealthy”—but a study carried out by the Rochester Center for Obesity Research found that eating eggs for breakfast helps limit your calorie intake all day, by more than 400 calories. That means you could lose three pounds or more per month.

    This is probably because eggs keep you full for longer—meaning you’re less likely to succumb to a mid-morning snack or stuff yourself at lunchtime. And although eggs contain cholesterol, this is “dietary cholesterol”—different from the “blood cholesterol” in your body. Despite the health recommendations of the past, there's no evidence that eating eggs will increase your blood cholesterol levels.
    3. Take in essential minerals


    Eggs are packed with iron, zinc and phosphorus—minerals that are vital for your body. Women need plenty of iron due to menstruation, and not getting enough could leave you feeling tired, run down and grumpy. Zinc keeps your immune system in top form and helps your body turn food into energy. Phosphorus is important for healthy bones and teeth.

    And, as a bonus, there are some trace elements (minerals you need in small amounts) in eggs: iodine, required to make thyroid hormones, and selenium, an antioxidant that can help cut your risk of cancer.
    4. Indulge in low-calorie protein


    One medium egg contains just 70 to 85 calories—and about 6.5 grams of protein. That means three eggs (210 to 255 calories) provide 19.5 grams of protein: the average woman needs about 50 grams a day, so that’s almost half of your daily intake. (Actual protein needs depend on your weight and level of activity; talk to your doctor to get specific requirements for you.)

    Eating a three-egg Spanish omelette, or three scrambled or poached eggs on toast, will keep you full for hours.
    5. Prevent breast cancer

    Research by Harvard University in 2003 found that eating eggs as an adolescent could help prevent breast cancer as an adult. In 2005, another study showed that women eating at least six eggs per week had a 44 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer than women who ate two or fewer eggs each week.

    In April 2008, researchers from the University of North Carolina found that choline (present in egg yolks) can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 24 percent. An egg yolk contains 125.5 milligrams of choline, about a quarter of the recommended daily intake, so just two poached eggs for breakfast provies half your choline for the day.

    Today Lets know about the healthy cooking way for Eggs to get more protiens..

    1. Hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a large enough saucepan so that they are in a single layer. Cover the eggs by one inch with cold water. As soon as the water comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat and let the eggs stand in the water for 15 minutes. To peel, make a crack in the shell and then roll the egg gently in your hands. Let the eggs cool and start peeling from the bottom.
    2. Scrambled eggs. Measure one tablespoon of milk for each egg you’ll be using and whisk them together, adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Heat two teaspoons of butter or oil at medium heat and pour in the eggs. Don't stir the eggs. Turn and fold gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the liquid is set.
    3. Classic omelet. "You can add vegetables to either scrambled eggs or an omelet to make an even healthier recipe," says Hedberg. For a two-egg omelet, whisk the eggs with two tablespoons of water and a dash of salt and pepper. Prepare your skillet as for scrambled eggs, but this time, as the eggs cook just push the edges of the eggs toward the center until all the uncooked egg liquid that flows underneath becomes solidified. If you want to add cheese or vegetables, place them on one half of the eggs, fold over the other half, and serve.
    4. Fried egg. To fry an egg, you need just barely a teaspoon of butter or oil. Heat the fat in a skillet until hot. Crack the egg and gently slip it into the pan, and reduce the heat to low right away. Let the egg cook for about six minutes. The yolk should just begin to thicken. Now you can choose between sunny side up or over-easy. If you like your yolk more firm, flip the egg and cook it for a bit longer.
    5. Poached egg. Heat about three inches of water in a saucepan until the water is boiling. Crack an egg into a cup or saucer and then gently slide it from the cup into the boiling water. When the whites are solid and the yolk is just starting to harden, lift the egg out of the water with a slotted spoon.
    6. Deviled eggs. Hard-boil six eggs and cut them lengthwise. Remove the yolks and mix them with one-third cup shredded cheese, one-quarter cup each of sour cream and mayonnaise — these can be low- or no-fat — and three tablespoons of finely chopped green onions. Whisk the ingredients until smooth and spoon them into the egg white halves. Chill before serving.
    7. Frittata. Beat four eggs with one-quarter cup milk, tomato juice, or broth. When the eggs are well blended, add cooked meat, cheese, vegetables, seafood, or a combination. Heat two teaspoons of butter or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and pour in the mixture. Cook at medium to low heat for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
    8. Quiche. Spread 1 cup low-fat shredded cheese over a 9-inch baked piecrust. Whisk six eggs with one cup milk, a dash of salt, and about a half-teaspoon of your favorite herbs. Pour this filling over the cheese and bake in a preheated 375° oven for about 40 minutes.
    9. One-minute microwave eggs and cheese. Whisk two eggs with two tablespoons each of milk and low-fat shredded cheese. Coat a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray, pour in the mixture, and microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Stir and zap for another 30 seconds. Top with your favorite herbs and you have a super fast healthy egg recipe.

    Re: It's Time to choose nonveg for better health.. Good ness of Egg

    Although the egg is rich in protein but due to the presence of high cholesterol in the egg yolk, its never safe for aged persons. Also due to the flavor most people consume the egg yolks. Taking eggs frequently increases the bad cholesterol level in blood and can cause heart disease.

    yes, i fully agree with you, smaller fishes are known to have less amount of fat than bigger fish, fish is a light protein food very beneficial for anyone young or old. Only thing to be checked is to see whether it is fresh.
