all right so let’s talk about the

absolute best type of protein that you

can eat

well it’s the egg and we’re going to

talk about why I mean even some of the

pharmaceutical companies right now are

looking at ways of extracting certain

proteins from eggs and using them in

Pharmaceuticals because of the wide

spectrum of benefits they isolated over

1500 different unique proteins in eggs

and these proteins have a wide variety

of functions including support of your

immune system

anti-microbial anti-cancer

anti-inflammatory there’s a whole list

of benefits so let’s Dive Right In so

what is an egg well you have the yellow

part of an egg which is a yolk and you

have the white part of the egg and

collectively we call that the egg even

though the egg is really the yolk the

white part of the egg is not the egg

it’s the food for the actual egg the

yolk and so what’s so special about the

egg it’s very different in other sources

of protein most other sources of protein

are must tissue okay well an egg is an

embryo and the quality of nutrition in

eggs is just off the charts it has a

higher quality amino acids than any

other protein out there except breast

milk and it has probably one of the most

diverse uh bands of nutrients okay of

any other proteins as well as the

bioavailability of nutrients it has

pretty much all of the fat soluble

vitamins it is virtually all

water-soluble vitamins as well except

vitamin C so it’s a quality source of

protein of course if you’re not

consuming conventional eggs the best

type of eggs you should get would be

pasta raised organic eggs now if you can

actually raise your own chickens get

your own eggs that would be the best

thing that’s what I’m doing or get eggs

from the farmer’s market because

depending on the diet of the chicken

there is huge variances of nutrients if

the diet of the chicken is just right

you can get up to 20 times more vitamin

E up to five times as much vitamin D up

to 10 times the vitamin A I’m talking

about retinol the bioactive form of

vitamin A and even up to six times the

selenium now unfortunately in 1968 the

egg has gotten a bad wrap due to this

whole cholesterol issue and then it took

roughly about 50 years to repair that

bad reputation because in 2015 finally

after all this time they dropped this

dietary cholesterol and egg restriction

we can now go back to eating eggs of

course after all this bad information

about eggs has been ingrained in us for

so many years now there’s two main

viewpoints on cholesterol cholesterol

itself in the diet increases the

cholesterol in your blood which then

clogs your arteries that’s one Theory

and the second theory is that the

cholesterol builds up

as a result of or a consequence of

having inflammation or damage in the

inside of the arteries because

cholesterol is part of the Band-Aid that

heals the inside of the arteries and

based on a lot of quality research the

second theory is more probable so let’s

go through some of the nitty-gritty

um protein okay as far as protein goes a

lot of different sources of protein

don’t end up as body tissue protein a

good amount of that is wasted either as

nitrogen waste or it is turned into

glucose but roughly about 49 of eggs is

converted to body tissue which is pretty

much the highest efficiency that you’re

going to get from all the different

types of protein excluding breast milk

now as far as the nutrients go the egg

has every single fat soluble vitamin

vitamin A d e k vitamin K1 and vitamin

K2 which is an amazing vitamin that

helps you extract calcium out of the

soft tissues so these fat soluble

vitamins are essential in brain health

in Hormone Health in your eyes and so

most of the fat soluble vitamins are in

the yolk part but the yolk also contains

all of your B vitamin B1 B2 B3 B5 B6

biotin B12 and even the white part of

the egg is loaded with B vitamins as

well the yolk also contains some really

rich minerals a lot of trace minerals as

well as other minerals like it has

magnesium potassium it has phosphorus

calcium it has iodine it has selenium

zinc copper so it’s a really good source

of minerals eggs are a good source of

omega-3 fatty acids which are

anti-inflammatory the egg yolk is a

really good source of choline

choline is the antidote to cholesterol

it helps break down cholesterol it helps

the brain work it helps all the

neurotransmitters out of all the foods

liver is the highest in choline egg yolk

is the second now if I was going to ask

you what has more protein the egg white

or the yolk you probably say the egg

white right well actually that’s not

true the egg yolk has 15 protein and the

egg white only has 11 protein which is

actually quite interesting because you

have people that think they’re getting

more protein from the egg whites when

they’re not all right what else does the

egg yolk have the egg yolk has

carotenoids what are carotenoids well

carotenoids are are compounds that give

you additional

health benefits like lutein and

zeaxanthin which both are crucial for

preventing macular degeneration and

supporting the eye especially if you’re

a diabetic they are now finding that

eggs have a wide range of antimicrobial

properties especially for your gut eggs

are a great source of antioxidants eggs

have certain proteins that are

anti-inflammatory and like I said before

eggs have properties that help counter

cancer in tumors eggs also have

immunoregulatory properties that support

things like IBS colitis

other inflammatory conditions of the gut

and if you think about colostrum is in

milk and that supports the immune system

of a growing calf and also if it’s

breast milk of a growing baby well eggs

also has its own colostrum for a growing

chick and so there is a type of

classroom in egg that can actually

benefit your immune system as well

there’s even some interesting proteins

in eggs that help lower your blood

pressure so how many eggs should you

consume in a day well it really depends

on your size and your desire for eating

eggs I consume roughly at least four

sometimes eight eggs every single day

and because sometimes we’ll have eggs as

my first meal as well as my second meal

simply because we have access to a very

high quality egg Source because we

actually have our own chickens and those

chickens are producing a lot of eggs

we’re getting like probably 15 to 16

eggs every single day so I’m trying to

figure out what to do with these eggs

but if you have any hesitation about

eggs thinking that it’s bad for your

cholesterol I created this video for you
