Eggs are one of the most complete and beneficial foods for health. Exceeded the bad trial for worsening cholesterol levels! The egg now confirms its health benefits. That of bones in particular: eating them every day would help prevent osteoporosis.
Naturopathy has never been outdone when it comes to nutritional qualities eggs. One of his fathers, Raymond Dextreit (1908-2001), recommended for example egg-lemon, a recipe aimed at rapid remineralization of the organism. And far from presenting a risk for the heart, eating an egg a day can, on the contrary, help reduce cardiovascular risk, as well as dementia.
Eggs boost bone mineral density
A new study1 shows that daily egg consumption can help protect bones, by increasing bone mineral density, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis. The latter develops when bone mineral density and mass decrease, leading to a change in bone structure. synonymous with less resistance in the event of an impact or fall. Hence the increased risk of fracture.
According to this work carried out with 19,208 participants, the daily consumption of whole eggs, up to 100 g (i.e. just under two eggs, the average weight of a unit in France ranging from 55 to 65 g), would be associated with a significantly higher mineral density in the regions of femur a you Lumbar spine.

Eggs activate enzymes that strengthen bones
With age, bone density decreases “naturally”, particularly in women due to drop in their estrogen levels at menopause. But other factors also contribute significantly to this phenomenon, notably the decreased appetitewhich can lead to a form of malnutrition, of physical activity, as well as certain medications, not to mention alcohol and cigarettes. It is therefore crucial to stem this trend as we get older.
The study authors attribute the positive impact of eggs on bone density to their ability toincrease blood levels of alkaline phosphatase, a family of enzymes involved in bone remodeling (its permanent reconstruction which allows, for example, consolidation of a fracture). This increased production of alkaline phosphatase would account for approximately 72% of the “egg effect” on bone density in the femur, and for 83 % on that of the lumbar spine.
For the rest, as the authors point out, eggs are rich in vitamin Dwhich helps the body absorb the calcium necessary for strong bones, and contain a very complete range of proteins, in particularessential amino acids (those that the body cannot produce).
