In recent years there have been hypes about organic food and people flock to the organic shops with their health first. Now, if you don’t join the rush, it would be better if you first understand why organic food is better for health.

A common household ingredient that homes never run out of is the egg. Of course, when buying eggs you can now choose the usual eggs from the usual poultry farms or you can choose the healthier version of organic eggs. Just to be clear, these are eggs that come from chickens that are fed entirely on natural feed. This chicken feed is certified organic; that is, produced without the use of pesticides, fungicides, commercial fertilizers, herbicides or any other chemical agent. It should also be noted that organic eggs do not contain any kind of hormones, artificial substances or antibiotics. Also, these eggs should be laid in a cage-free environment where the chickens have access to outdoor areas.

While many still dispute that organic eggs are actually packaged more nutritiously than commercial eggs, more people are still opting for them for many reasons. Here are some of them:

The chickens that lay organic eggs are usually healthier because they live and breed in a more spacious and cleaner environment. Commercial eggs are usually produced by chickens that have spent their entire lives in cages and are usually fed premixed feeds that are normally bred with chemicals such as pesticides. And since the chickens eat these chemically enriched foods, the eggs may also contain chemicals or pesticides, posing potential health risks to consumers.

Many people who eat organic eggs also confirm that these organic foods lead to better-tasting eggs for meals. Many also believe that organic eggs are much healthier because the hens that laid them are also in good health thanks to a better living environment. Also, the porous shells of eggs normally absorb odors and with organic eggs you get products that are almost odor free compared to commercially laid eggs.

If you deviate from a diet containing eggs, you should think again, because eggs contain many nutritious elements that can be good for the heart and body. First of all, organic eggs contain more of the healthy fat and protein. They also have vitamins that are essential for the body and its functions. Such vitamins include vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, folate and niacin.

Organic eggs also contain orange and yellow carotenoids, especially the zeaxanthin and the luthein, which may help reduce the risks of developing macular degeneration due to aging and also reduce the development of cataracts. Finally, organic eggs are abundant in choline, a nutrient that boosts normal cell structure and function and aids in proper nerve and regular cell signaling.

Having said the above, it is wise to include eggs in your regular diet. And instead of just going for the usual commercial eggs, why not give your health more by eating only organic eggs?
