Eggs are Back!

Hard-boiled-eggsFor many years people have been warned to watch their intake of eggs due to their high cholesterol content. Newer research has shown that cholesterol in food has a much smaller effect on total blood cholesterol and the “bad’ LDL cholesterol than does the total mix of fats and refined carbohydrates in the diet.
In addition, eggs have important nutrients for good health, including protein, B vitamins, and lutein (an antioxidant known to reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration).

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, eating an egg a day does not increase the risk of heart disease in most healthy people. But if you have trouble controlling your blood cholesterol levels or have diabetes, you may want to be cautious by choosing more egg whites and limiting your yolk intake to three per week. If you have concerns about your situation, be sure to talk to your doctor or cardiologist for a personal recommendation.

Fool-Proof Hard Cooked Eggs

Hard-cooked eggs make a perfect quick breakfast or grab-and-go snack. You can store them in the fridge for up to a week. Follow these instructions for the perfect hard-cooked eggs!

  1. To make it easier to peel cooked eggs, start with eggs that were purchased at least a week before cooking (really fresh eggs are notoriously difficult to peel!). Place room temperature eggs in a single layer in a pan with a lid. (If you didn’t have time to bring them to room temperature, before cooking add the eggs to a bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes. Drain and proceed with cooking.)
  2. Add cool water to cover eggs by about one inch. Bring the eggs to a rolling boil, then immediately remove from the heat and cover.
  3. Steep them in the covered pan 12 minutes for medium eggs; 17 minutes for large; 19 minutes for extra-large, and 20 minutes for jumbo. To prevent rubbery whites and green rings around the yolk, the timing is very important so be sure to use a timer.

When the timer buzzes, pour off the hot water and place eggs in ice water. Once they are cool, you can peel them. To peel, tap the flat end on a hard surface to crack it; then start peeling. Peeling under cold running water makes the task easier.

DID YOU KNOW?

I would like to share my personal story on what Dr. Jim and Finish Line Chiropractic have done for my health. I have suffered from sinus infections for years and I have been on antibiotics 4-6 times a year for at least 10 years. It was recommended that I go through surgery to help open up my sinuses. I was miserable. My good friend Kay Grobel recommended that I come and see Dr. Jim at Finish Line Chiropractic. On my first visit I explained my concern about my sinus issues, and he shared with m…
Chronic disease related to lifestyle account for 70% of the nation’s medical costs.
I was surprised by how much sugar is in our processed food and beverages. I will be reading more food labels looking for sugars and bad fat and chemicals.
My good friend Kay Grobel recommended that I come and see Dr. Jim at Finish Line Chiropractic. On my first visit I explained my concern about my sinus issues, and he shared with me that if I got off of dairy, he would guarantee that I would feel better.I did just that and was amazed how much better I felt. I thought if that worked, I would listen to whatever else he told me to do. I decided to have an alcat test to help me find out the right food to be feeding my body. That again was a total sh…
Kay was very helpful with setting up the event. I had many options on the topic and they were very flexible with the date and time.
About 108 million people in the U.S. have at least one chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, hypertension or osteoarthritis.
Kay was very helpful with setting up the event. I had many options on the topic and they were very flexible with the date and time. Jeff came and did his presentation which was very well planned out and I received a lot of very positive feedback. They brought sandwich wraps, healthy snacks, and water for everyone. I had to leave a few minutes before the end of the presentation, but I was told that people really liked it. The one thing was at the end, I believe just his last few slides promoted…
I won a Wellness Lunch for my office through a drawing at my fitness studio. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but working with Kay Grobel and Dr. Natalie to set up the event was a breeze. Dr. Natalie’s presentation on nutrition was truly eye-opening to me and all of my co-workers that attended. She presented the information in a clear way and really made everyone in the audience feel at ease. Nutrition is complicated and difficult to understand but Dr. Natalie made it seem not so overwhelming. …
I found the session to be rather informative in regards to items found in foods and what to try to avoid. And which types of foods are better for our bodies. I am really looking forward to making some of the foods from the recipes that were given us – 10 items needed.
50% of premature deaths in the U.S. are related to modifiable lifestyle factors.
