Here are 9 insane health benefits of eating eggs

Updated

Almost everyone loves eggs. They can be cooked so many different ways and eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner — and, of course, for brunch.

Eggs can be fried, baked, scrambled, combined with countless ingredients, or even used to put the "egg" in egg rolls, quite literally. In other words, if you have a craving, there's probably an egg dish out there for you.

But eggs aren't just a popular dietary staple for their versatility and taste, although those traits certainly help. Eggs are also really healthy. Some people even refer to them as the "original superfood."

They occasionally get a bad rap due to cholesterol content, but their benefits more than balance it out, and they can even have a positive effect on cholesterol levels.

Think about it: eggs are made to be home, serve as protection, and food for a new life. (The eggs you eat are unfertilized, so no, you're not eating a baby bird!) They're packed full of nutrients that a developing life would need. And even if you're an adult, those nutrients can do wonders for you, too.

One more awesome egg fact? An egg yolk is actually one single cell. It's true! Every time you eat an egg yolk, you're munching on one big cell. Science is neat!
