The unEGGSpected and amazing benefits of eating eggs! 🎉🍳[sponsored]

Eggs are a staple in my diet — scrambled, hard-boiled, poached, or baked, I love them any which way and love that eating them is beneficial for my health in SO many ways!💯🍳

Whatever your reason for always having a carton of eggs in your fridge, you can feel good knowing eggs are a nutritional powerhouse that are easy to love at any age and stage of life. 🥚Plus they’re super versatile!

5 health benefits of eating eggs 👇🏻

🧡 Eggs are part of heart-healthy eating patterns according to the American Heart Association. The cholesterol in food does not impact your body’s cholesterol like we once thought; therefore, eggs do not impact heart health.

🧠Support Brain Health — Eggs are one of the few foods rich in choline. The choline in eggs helps support lifelong brain health at every age and stage, including memory, thinking, mood and more.

🍳Can Help Keep You Fuller For Longer - Eggs are one of nature’s most perfect proteins with two large eggs providing 12 grams of high-quality protein. Eating protein-based foods, like eggs, helps boost feelings of fullness.

🍅🥑 Help You Better Absorb the Nutrients in Vegetables. The fat in eggs (which is mostly the unsaturated, good-for-you kind) can help you better absorb the nutrients found in vegetables, such as vitamin E and carotenoids.

🏃🏻‍♀️Can Help Keep You Energized — eggs are a compact, natural source of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients to help keep you energized and nourished.

As an RD, I take my immune health seriously and always try to make conscious choices around food and healthy habits that support my immune system on a daily basis. 🙋🏻‍♀️

In addition to eating healthy, exercising, keeping my stress in check, prioritizing sleep and taking a probiotic, I reach for wedderspoonofficial Manuka Honey Lozenges with Epicor to strengthen my body’s defenses and provide a quick immunity boost year-round.💯

You’ve probably heard of pro and prebiotics but how about postbiotics? EpiCor is a postbiotic that promotes a healthy gut microbiome and acts like a vitamin for your immune system when taken daily.

I like that Wedderspoon’s Manuka Honey Lozenges with EpiCor start working in less than two hours and are a triple threat when it comes to helping support you in 3 ways:

- Manuka Honey soothes sore throats
- Vitamin C provides a powerful immune boost
- Zinc supports immune health and aids in managing inflammation in the body

Take them on the go or stash them at home when you need them any time of year! 🎉

Save this for dinner inspo! 😍🎉 I can’t get

Save this for dinner inspo! 😍🎉 I can’t get enough of this Asian salmon bowl that literally comes together in less than 15 minutes! 👇🏻

For the salmon:
Cut wild- caught king salmon into cubes and toss in a marinade of 2-3 tbsp. coconut aminos (or soy sauce), 1 tbsp white miso, 1/2 tbsp. dijon mustard, and honey. Air fry at 400 for 5-7 min.

For the carrots:
Use a peeler to make carrot ribbons and toss with 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar and 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil. Top with sesame seeds or chopped green onion.

For the cucumbers:
I tossed them in about 1 tbsp. of store bought gojuchang sauce — so good!

This bowl is awesome with brown rice — this time I paired it with momofukugoods scallion noodles. Top everything with green onion & micrgreens! 🎉

Winter mood boosters! ❄️✨ What I do every single day to make sure I’m staying happy and energized during the long Chicago winter! 🥶👇🏻

❄️Movement every single day — > It’s amazing how just 10 minutes of exercise can positively impact you mentally and physically. It’s a must for me in the winter to feel energized for the day.

❄️Sunlight when there is some —> sunlight is incredibly powerful for our mood, hormones and circadian rhythm. Get outside in the morning when there is sun to help with energy, sleep, mood, and vitamin D production.

❄️Getting dressed and putting on makeup every day —> honestly this helps me so much in the winter!

❄️ gratitude practice —> focusing on what you’re thankful for can be a powerful perspective shift when everything feels “blah”. Start by writing down 3 things you’re grateful for in the morning and see how your day can totally change.

❄️ Not going too long between meals —> low blood sugar = low energy so don’t go too long between meals and snacks and make sure they’re balanced with protein, fat and fiber. This helps prevent that afternoon slump that seems to hit harder in the winter.

❄️ Omega-3 consumption —> think salmon, tuna and flax seeds. Diets high in omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to lower rates of depression.

All these plus more things I call my “winter non-negotiables” for feeling good this time of year on the blog now!
