so let’s talk about the best way to prepare your eggs for maximum nutrition and i’m mainly talking about the carotenoids in the eggs lutein and zeaxanthin both of these are very powerful compounds in certain foods that have very unique health benefits they’re in vegetables egg yolks shrimp lobster salmon and there’s quite a few others it’s in avocados but these two specific compounds accumulate mostly in the eye they also go into the liver and certain parts of your brain but most of it goes into the eye part of the retina which is the extension of the brain it’s all neurological tissue and the back part the center part it’s called the macula and also in the lens of the eye so both of these compounds can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration as well as cataracts now i would also recommend avoiding things that cause inflammation specifically vegetable oils soy corn oil canola and cottonseed oil those are very inflammatory and they create a lot of free radical damage creating destruction to your tissue so the combination of avoiding the omega-6 fatty acids and consuming foods high in these two compounds can help decrease the risk of damage to your macula as well as your lens now with a cataract things are going to be cloudy okay like an opaque type cloudiness on the eye but if there’s degeneration in the macula you’re going to lose vision in the central part as well as things are going to be less defined these two compounds also prevent the blue light they filter out blue light they actually absorb the blue light and so that’s another benefit also they’re anti-inflammatory they’re very powerful antioxidants so now that you understand the power of these two chemicals and eggs how do you maximize nutrition how do you prepare your eggs well they’re very sensitive to heat so the less you heat them the more nutrition you’re going to have so like if you’re going to fry an egg over easy so the yolk is runny if you’re going to boil egg don’t overcook it poached eggs are really good if you’re going to scramble the egg just try not to overcook it too much now should you consume raw eggs now the problem with that is when you consume raw egg whites it can deplete other nutrients like biotin so i recommend cooking the white part but leave the yolk runny and of course if you’re new to my channel you want to consume pasture-raised organic eggs thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the us hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
