THE NUTRITIOUS EGG IS A HAPPINESS FOOD

In spite of the negative press eggs received several years ago, the standard barnyard egg is a nutritional powerhouse!  If you wanted to create the perfect brain food, you would find most of what you need in the egg.  Here is a list of these "happiness" compounds found in the egg:

• Vitamin B12 - This vitamin is crucial for the nerve cells and deficiency in vitamin B12 causes irritability, depression, and cognitive decline!
• Folate - Needed to keep the brains neurotransmitter factories humming along.
• Iodine - Iodine is essential for proper thyroid functioning.  This is important because an underactive thyroid causes lethargy, depression, and weight gain.  And weight gain also has an effect on happiness.
• Vitamin D - When your supply of vitamin D gets low, chances for depression, dementia, PMS all increase.

The above list is only a partial nutrition list of the egg, but it is the main nutrition in the egg that does play a role in your happiness!

Did you ever think that a simple egg could be so important to your "Happiness Quotient?"
