You should not throw the York away whenever eating eggs. The innermost part of the eggs-the yolk is round and yellow.

It is also the richest in nutrients, containing minerals like choline, which stimulates brain development, iodine which helps the thyroid gland regulate thyroxin, phosphorous and calcium, which helps in the development of bones and amino acids like leutin and zeaxanthin…which are very essential for growth and a person’s development.

Vitamins D, E, A, K and B12, also found in the yolk, act as antioxidants that neutralise toxins in the body and prevent the risk of breast cancer.

Women also stand to benefit more from the yolk because of its high sulphur content that boosts growth of healthy hair and nails. Zinc also helps to maintain the immune system, guarding against diseases.
