Good morning, Do you know the benefits of eggs this morning?
A standard large egg contains around 74 calories, 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and less than 1 gram of carbs, according to the USDA Food Data Central. Eggs are a good source of vitamin A, biotin (vitamin b7) and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, One of the most beneficial micronutrients found in eggs is choline; it’s especially important during pregnancy, as it’s a nutrient that’s key for fetal development.
So don't forget to add that egg into your menu.

Foods That Keep Your Bones & Joints Pain-Free
Spinach

Don’t duck out on dark, leafy greens. When it comes to building and maintaining strong bones, vitamin-K-rich spinach earns a spot on our plates. Just one cup has more than 1,000 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin K, which lowers and controls the activation of the cells (they’re called osteoclasts) that aid in the breakdown of bones. And added benefit: Vitamin K promotes the protein synthesis, which is essential for bone strength and density.

Turmeric
Turmeric is the reigning champ of functional foods for good reason: it’s teeming with antioxidants like curcumin. Curcumin carries powerful anti-inflammatory properties that have been found to help alleviate joint pain from exercise and arthritis. Another gift is its ability to disrupt the growth and spread of cancer cells. To reap the benefits, combine the spice with coriander, cumin and cayenne and sprinkle over chicken breasts, or whip up a breakfast smoothie filled with pineapple, banana, turmeric, ginger, yogurt and coconut water. Yum!

Bone Broth
Bone broth is made by slowly cooking animal bones in water until their collagen is broken down into gelatin and dissolves into the water. When you ingest it, that gelatin can act as an intestinal Band-Aid, healing the lining of the digestive tract, which aids digestion and helps us absorb more nutrients. This same gelatin may also help strengthen bones and joints in a way that can relieve pain brought on by age-related arthritis and joint deterioration.

Last month we talked about foods that are good for the skin this month we want to see some of the foods that are good for your hair.

Best Foods for Long, Thick, and Shiny Hair
Oatmeal
When hair loss is spurred by a diet that lacks essential vitamins and minerals, oatmeal can help. In addition to keeping you satiated, oats are packed with iron, zinc, and healthy fats—all nutrients that help keep strands healthy and strong. Topping your morning bowl of oats with nuts (for additional healthy fats) or berries (for essential vitamin C) can add even more of a nutritional punch.
Almond Butter
Almond is full of healthy fats and rich in protein, almond butter contains roughly 4 milligrams of vitamin E per tablespoon (or about 27% of your recommended daily value). That’s 3 more milligrams than peanut butter! The added vitamin E works to increase growth and keep hair shiny and thick.
Lentils
Not only are lentils a great source of protein, they’re rich in the essential B vitamin folate, too. Known better as vitamin B9, folate is needed for cell development and tissue growth—and that includes hair. If you’re looking to stave off silver strands, increasing your intake of the nutrient can help. A deficiency can lead to both premature graying and hair loss—two things that make you look older than you actually are.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a pantry staple that can be found in nearly everyone's kitchen. And that’s good news! Not only does it add aromatic warmth to just about any dish, it also improves circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles. Cinnamon paste or oil can also help to prevent hair breakage.
Grass-Fed Beef
If your hair is thinning, an iron deficiency may be to blame. What’s the connection? Iron helps to transport oxygen through the blood to all the cells in the body. When iron is lacking, hair follicles don’t get enough oxygen, and they go into something called a “resting stage.” When this occurs, hair is released and falls out. Thankfully, adding more iron to your diet can help reverse the effects. Steak, and other red meats are high in iron. Vegetarians, fear not—eggs, beans, and iron-fortified breads and cereals are just a few meat-free iron options. Looking to make a real difference? Pair iron-rich foods with those containing vitamin C for better absorption.
