Eggs have been a hot topic for many years. Do they cause increased cholesterol? There has been lots of research over the past few decades showing that eggs, when eaten as part of a balanced diet, do not cause an unhealthy increase in cholesterol. In fact, eggs are a fantastic source of protein and essential vitamins and minerals. They are one of the few food sources of vitamin D which is very important for our bone health and immune system. Eggs are also a great source of omega 3’s or healthy fats. At Healing Meals, we create weekly menus that showcase a variety of different types of protein such as organic poultry, grass-fed beef, wild seafood, and organic eggs. Eating a balanced and healthy diet is about nutrient-density– getting the most nutrition out of our food, but it is also about variety. Check out our signature Harvest Frittata recipe. This recipe is a great way to mix up your protein but also highlight seasonal vegetables!
