Not just for Easter&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Easter approaches, thoughts turn naturally to eggs. There\u2019s the extra-thick, double chocolate variety, or the everyday kind from hens. Guess which one we\u2019d recommend! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trouble is, eggs often get a bad rap. They\u2019re high in cholesterol compared to other foods, so a lot of people are unsure whether to include them in their diet. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d like to set your mind at rest. Studies show that dietary cholesterol in eggs doesn\u2019t adversely affect cholesterol levels in the blood. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of a balanced, healthy lifestyle, eggs are great. They\u2019re a fantastic source of protein and \u2018good\u2019 HDL cholesterol. They\u2019re also packed full of vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fats and nutrients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, get cracking! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top tips when adding eggs to your diet: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Frying an egg can increase its fat content by up to 50%. Better to boil, poach or scramble. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Scramble in a non-stick pan to avoid adding oil. And use skimmed milk or a non-dairy alternative instead of cream. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Made in the morning, a hard-boiled egg makes a healthy, protein-rich snack to keep hunger at bay until lunchtime. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. An egg-white omelette keeps the calories down, but you\u2019ll miss out on all the vitamins and nutrients if you always lose the yolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Have you thought about baking eggs with your favourite vegetables? Frittatas &amp; shirred eggs are a great way to up your veggie intake in a delicious and healthy way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1&nbsp;https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07315724.2004.10719429#.UvNz1bT1adA<br>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23021013<br>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19369056.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eggs are for life.
