Eggs have been recognised as a protein powerhouse for many years as they contain the highest quality protein naturally available.雞蛋已被公認為是蛋白質的動力源，因為它們含有天然質量最高的蛋白質。 However, the benefits of eating eggs are far more wide-ranging than protein alone, with eggs offering a healthy and sustainable source of essential nutrients needed for all stages of life.但是，吃雞蛋所帶來的好處遠比單獨使用蛋白質要廣泛得多，雞蛋可以提供生命各個階段所需的健康，可持續(xù)的必需營養(yǎng)素。

雞蛋含有人體所需的大部分維生素、礦物質和抗氧化劑，通常被稱為大自然的“維生素丸”，這是有充分理由的。 雞蛋含有 13 種必需營養(yǎng)素，包括維生素 A、B 和 E，以及葉酸、鐵和鋅。

Eggs provide one of the highest amounts of choline in any natural foods source, an often-under consumed but critical nutrient for neurocognitive development and health throughout the lifespan.雞蛋是所有天然食物中膽堿含量最高的一種，它是一生中經常被食用但對于神經認知發(fā)育和健康至關重要的營養(yǎng)物質。 This has resulted in eggs being recognised as an important food group, particularly for pregnant and lactating women, in many regions around the world.因此，在世界許多地區(qū)，雞蛋被認為是重要的食物種類，尤其是對孕婦和哺乳期婦女而言。

Another essential nutrient which can be found in eggs is vitamin D, which is key to strengthening healthy bones and teeth.雞蛋中可以找到的另一種必需營養(yǎng)素是維生素D，它是增強骨骼和牙齒健康的關鍵。 Around 1 billion people are estimated to have low vitamin D levels, and eggs are one of the few foods which naturally contain this essential nutrient.據估計，約有XNUMX億人維生素D水平低，雞蛋是天然含有這種必需營養(yǎng)素的少數食物之一。

但是，使雞蛋成為支持健康飲食的絕佳食物選擇不僅是巨大的健康益處，雞蛋還具有顯著的可持續(xù)性證書，也使其成為養(yǎng)活不斷增長的全球人口的絕佳選擇。

Eggs are considered a low environmental impact protein source owing to new efficiencies and ongoing commitments made both on-farm and in the egg supply chain.由于新的效率以及農場和雞蛋供應鏈中不斷做出的承諾，雞蛋被認為是對環(huán)境影響小的蛋白質來源。 They require very little water use, and the overall footprint of the egg has significantly reduced over the last 50 years.它們只需要很少的水，在過去的XNUMX年中，雞蛋的總體足跡已大大減少。

雞蛋由于其價格低廉和營養(yǎng)密度高，在全世界消除營養(yǎng)不良中發(fā)揮著重要作用，有助于顯著改善營養(yǎng)脆弱地區(qū)兒童的健康狀況。

The egg offers a host of unique benefits in our diets and plays a valuable role in supporting the growing global population.雞蛋在我們的飲食中提供了許多獨特的好處，并且在支持不斷增長的全球人口方面發(fā)揮了重要作用。 Help to honour the multitude of benefits eggs provide by celebrating World Egg Day on Friday 9 October 2020.通過慶祝XNUMX年XNUMX月XNUMX日（星期五）世界雞蛋日，幫助兌現雞蛋所帶來的眾多好處。
