See the benefits of eggs

Eating an egg a day could reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

AMD affects the central part of the retina which controls fine vision, leaving sufferers with only limited sight and is the leading cause of blindness in people over 50.

Studies at the University of Massachusetts revealed that as well as filling you up for longer (eggs have a 50% higher satiety index than breakfast cereals), a daily egg could boost blood levels of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin and reduce the risk of AMD.
