9 Amazing Benefits Your Body Gets from Eating 2 Eggs Every Day

6. Some eggs are better for you.

Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce triglycerides, a blood fat. If you don’t like Omega-3-rich foods like fish or nuts, Omega-3 enriched eggs are a fantastic option. Normal triglyceride levels are under 150, borderline high is 150-199, high is 200-499, and very high is 500 or more.

Not all eggs are the same, and their nutrition depends on hen diet and care. Hens fed flaxseed, algae, or fish oil lay Omega-3 enriched eggs with up to three times more Omega-3s than standard eggs. Regular eggs have about 30 mg of Omega-3s, while enriched ones can have 100-500 mg per egg.

Studies show Omega-3 enriched eggs support heart health by cutting triglycerides and inflammation. These eggs often have more selenium and vitamin E too. Free-range and pasture-raised eggs are also great, with higher vitamin A, E, and up to double the Omega-3s of regular eggs.
