Eggs have been known as a versatile and naturally wholesome food since eternity. They tend to have high adaptability and are simple to utilize. From a hearty breakfast through dessert, or any meal in between, eggs are a nutritional powerhouse!

Chicken, on the other hand, has evolved as an all-rounder, nutritionally holistic food in itself which is nutrient-dense and satiating on its own.

Not only are eggs and chickens pressed with supplements but they’re also practical, affordable, and assume a significant job in mental well-being, eye health, pregnancy, muscle upkeep, and overall body functioning.

From poached eggs to scrambled, baked to grilled chicken, and everything in between, eggs and chicken can fit into different dietary routines. This makes them an inevitable part of every eating regime be it a heart-healthy diet, a plant-based diet, a gluten-free diet, or any other.

A heart-healthy signifies a similarity to a well-balanced diet. For healthy fats, it emphasizes mostly on lean animal proteins, omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods, and plant proteins.

Despite the common belief, eggs enhance a heart-healthy eating pattern. For the longest time, heart disease and eggs have been linked. Dietary cholesterol in eggs has been believed to raise blood cholesterol levels but deeper quality research conducted by Harvard disproves this (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/moderate-egg-consumption-not-associated-with-higher-cardiovascular-disease-risk/).

The renowned Egg Nutrition Center (ENC)– a division of the American Egg Board(AEB) also published an article on the benefits of eggs as a part of a heart-healthy diet. (https://www.eggnutritioncenter.org/articles/when-consumed-as-part-of-a-heart-healthy-diet-egg-consumption-is-not-of-concern-according-to-2019-guidelines/ )

Chicken India, an independent, nonprofit initiative that provides authentic, factual investigative reporting for chicken and egg consumers in India published a healthy dietary option consisting of chicken and eggs (https://www.chickenindia.org/eggs-chicken-nutrition-health-benefits/ ).

Chicken and eggs go fabulously with plant-based diets as well. These are plant-forward and plant-heavy diets accommodating a wide assortment of foods including poultry. Hence, debunking the misconception of being a “plant only” diet. The egg fats, in fact, aid in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins found in plants making them a powerful combo.

Better studies and researches are surfacing every day in order to help consumers pick and choose diets matching their lifestyle and health target. Needless to say, eggs and chicken form a great chunk of most of these diets hence validating their well-rounded nutritional goodness.
