Several new studies have been
published recently showing the multiple benefits of eating this all-natural
protein for breakfast. Eggs are affordable sources of high quality protein that
helps reduce the risk factors for
metabolic syndrome, which can lead to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. Metabolic syndrome is often called pre-diabetes.
A large waistline is one of the
several risk factors included in metabolic syndrome. A gut hanging over your
belt indicates fat is growing around vital organs. Weight management is
essential in preventing type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Barbara Gower from the
University of Alabama showed that a high protein diet with 40% carbohydrates --
compared with a “normal” 55% carbohydrate diet -- allowed overweight adults to
lose dangerous visceral fat.
Dr. Gower also made a point to note
that the 40% carb diet was higher in fat—indicating the presence of healthy
fats is good for healthy people. Plus, the diet promoted insulin sensitivity,
another key factor in preventing diabetes. (3)
A recent study from Metabolism agreed: whole eggs
improved the types of fat in the blood and insulin sensitivity better than
egg-substitutes. (4)
