Eating an egg every day in winter can help keep your vitamin D levels up, new research has found.
As many as one in three Australian adults may have vitamin D deficiency. It can lead to fatigue, aches, muscle weakness, mood changes and an increased risk of contracting respiratory infections.
"Vitamin D deficiency can have a negative impact on bone health as the key function of vitamin D is to promote calcium absorption," says research lead, Professor Robin Daly.
"Vitamin D deficiency may also increase the risk of other non-skeletal diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, depression and Alzheimer's disease," Prof. Daly says.
Vitamin D is difficult to source from foods. People with low vitamin D levels are often prescribed supplements. Eggs are one of the few foods that are a naturally rich source of vitamin D.
"Weekly consumption of seven eggs was an effective dietary approach to optimize vitamin D levels during the winter months when sunlight hours decline," says Prof. Daly of the IPAN study's findings.
The study is the first to investigate the dose-response relationship between eating commercially available free-range eggs and blood vitamin D levels in Australian adults.
Fifty-one adults aged 25–40 years were randomly assigned to three groups that were asked to consume either two, seven or 12 eggs per week for 12 weeks.
But won't eating an egg every day increase your blood cholesterol? As well as measuring blood vitamin D levels, the research team also looked at changes in blood lipids. Prof Daly said there were no significant adverse effects on cholesterol.
Participants found it relatively easy to eat the eggs as part of their daily diets.
"The simple strategy of eating an egg a day could help prevent health complications caused by vitamin D deficiencies."

Pickled Eggs ?
Cereal and milk every day will do the trick. Or take a 10 minute walk...the sun doesn’t have to be shining.
I hardboil eggs....egg and olive sandwiches, add to a salad...which I eat every day.
sausage... bacon...
That’s why farm boys have bones strong as I-beams... Lots of milk and eggs every day.
wow.
another Government funded study.
I’m shocked.
Telling us something....again....that we already knew.
And the cholesterol thing is a bunch of nonsense. Eggs can actually be beneficial to your cholesterol profile by increasing the "good" and decreasing the "bad".
Me too.....add sauerkraut and pickles....with the pickle juice replaced by red wine vinegar.
Eggs are good.
Eggs are bad.
Butter is good.

Coffee is good.
Coffee is bad.
Wine is good.
Wine is bad.
Deakin University in Australia. We get to enjoy their research results. It doesn’t say where the university got its research money.
I didn’t know that eggs were one of the few foods naturally rich in Vit D. Plus, no change in blood lipids from an egg a day. That is good info.
It’s far better that the government pay for this research instead of gazillions more on “equity,” trannies, homos, and other useless “studies.”
Oh, so this is the “eggs are good for you” part of the year. I always forget in which part of the year that narrative starts. In six months, I assume it will revert back to the “eggs are harmful to your health” setting.
I used to have a picture of two headlines, six months apart, from the same newspaper. One stated “Why Eggs Are Harmful to Your Health” and the other “Why Eggs Should Be a Part of Your Daily Diet”.
Bacon is good

I love eggs. One of my parents had some kind of sulphur allergy. My DNA indicates I have a higher chance of egg allergy due to SNP rs6498482.
But when I tested for it with a blood test it came back negative for egg allergy.
However, in trying to figure out what is wrong with me I have started relying on my DNA so I cut out eggs.
Sure enough, I felt better and some of the weird stuff went away.
I dont know what to make of that but use it as a suggestion for people who were tested and came back negative for egg allergy.
btw, I am trying the blueberry diet for psoriasis. That and a red light for 5 minutes a day is making a difference. Some people have had success trying those things. Psoriasis cures are hit and miss and you just have to try things
also if anyone wants something beyond 23andme Nebula.org is still doing their $100 off lifetime subscription for their whole exome test. The coupon code is PRIMEDEAL. It is expensive but still cheaper than a whole exome test done at places like Blueprint Genetics or Prevention Genetics which is the expensive testing Drs order.
The whole thing is almost $500. You dont need it unless you are in diagnosis hell with clueless Drs.
I went over the article a few times to find what kind of vitamin D IU we can expect from an egg but didn't see anything. Did I miss something?
Here's a link to a page that actually goes into surprising detail about vitamin D IU in egg, depending on how it is cooked.

Whole eggs have a lot of protein....good for weight lifters.
I eat two hardboiled eggs every day, with the yokes slightly soft. I heard the soft yokes were better nutritionally.
