The benefits of organic eggs may be worth the extra cost. Also if you go to the local market and you stop spending your money at the grocery store, you will help a local farmer pay the rent and produce more healthy food.

These organic eggs come from chickens that were given 100 percent organic feed, free of any agricultural chemicals. The chickens are also treated humanely, with access to outdoor space to roam. In addition, the eggs themselves contain essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals needed to keep you healthy.

According to The Times, nowadays half of all eggs sold in supermarkets are free-range, while Britain has the largest free-range flock – 15 million birds – in Europe.

What is happening with the organically raised chickens?

Unfortunately, on those farms who would like to sell organic eggs, the mortality is much higher because they are not allowed to use hormones, antibiotics or any toxic chemical pesticides and fertilizers for at least three years. These eggs are laid from hens that may be kept in any kind of caging system but it is basically cage free. They usually cannot eat genetically modified grain, it will all be fertilizer free as well.

Free range eggs are laid from hens that have the chance to go outside. They can freely move in and out of the barn & spend time roaming outdoors which is more akin to their natural environment. They can also do natural nesting and they have got the ability to develop foraging behaviors.

When trying to maintain a healthy weight by controlling calorie intake, it is important to pay attention to a food item’s serving size and calories per serving. One egg is one serving, which contains about 70 calories. Eggs are a really great source of protein they contain a significant amount of all of the essential amino acids. Your body needs the protein to renew and rebuild the broken down cells in your organs and muscles. The amount of protein you should take depends on your age and sex. An average amount is 46g of protein per day for most healthy adult women and for a healthy man is 56g per day.

At New You Boot Camp we recommend organic-eggs because of the following health-promoting nutrients:

• Healthy protein and fat
• Egg yolk is a good source of D vitamin
• Yellow and orange carotenoids as lutein and zeaxanthin, can reduce your risk of developing cataracts and age related macular degeneration
• It contains choline, which is essential to normal cell structure and function
• Try to eat organic eggs from free range birds – they have got healthier benefits than eggs that are produced in a factory farm
• If you fry or scramble eggs, try to use virgin coconut oil, this is relatively high in healthy saturated fatty acids and are therefore quite stable when exposed to low to medium cooking temperatures.
• Try not to eat cooked eggs every day, to avoid possible allergy. Three to five servings per week is fine for most people.
• Try to introduce eggs to your daily consumption. For many people, raw eggs are a better food choice than cooked eggs because all heat-sensitive elements are fully intact in raw eggs. Also, raw eggs are more easily assimilated into your bloodstream than cooked eggs.
