WEEKLY NUTRITION and FITNESS TIPS

By: Michelle Martucci RD, LDN

Healthy tip:

Whole eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet, containing a little bit of almost every nutrient we need. Omega-3 enriched and/or pastured eggs are even healthier. Eggs are high in cholesterol, but eating eggs does not have adverse effects on cholesterol in the blood for the majority of people.
