What you eat to kick-start your day is important and a naturopathic doctor on TikTok swears by the benefits of a common breakfast staple.

What we eat is what we are. Medical professionals and researchers have long determined the link between the gut and the brain. While most resort to processed food such as cereals in the fast-paced life, the doctor explains why you should switch to a healthier option.

Naturopathic doctor suggests eating a common breakfast staple

Dr. Pedi Mirdamadi on TikTok claims that eating hard-boiled eggs for breakfast can significantly impact your health and it’s a diet he follows himself.

The naturopathic doctor explains in a video the multiple health benefits of eggs in addition to the convenience at which they can be prepared.

He calls eggs a “superfood” with an excellent source of protein and it also provides the body with all the essential amino acids, which don’t produce naturally.

Dr. Peri doesn’t suggest against drinking protein shakes occasionally, but tries to draw attention to the fact that they are ultra-processed. Whereas, eggs are a natural source in real and whole state “just the way nature intended them to be.”

6 hard boiled eggs for breakfast! Real food! Just the way nature intended it to be! Eggs are truly a superfood and one of the best bang for buck foods you can buy. Many people eat, highly processed foods for breakfast, which can result in poor energy and mental focus throughout the day. Starting your day with high-quality protein and fats is one of the best investments you can make in your health. Whole eggs are a highly nutritious food with an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, and other nutrients. The best part about the protein and eggs is that it provides all the essential amino acids your body cannot produce on its own. These amino acids are called essential for a reason because they are crucial for optimal health. And eggs are a great source of them. I always advise my patients to stick to real foods made by nature, like whole eggs, over processed foods, like bagels and cereals and even limit protein shakes and powders because like I said they are still processed. When it comes to eggs, they should ideally be organic and pasture raised. And don’t worry the cholesterol from eggs will not impact your blood cholesterol levels. In fact, switching from bagels and cereals to eggs, will likely improve your cholesterol levels. How many eggs do you have each week?

How many eggs can you eat a day?

The doctor further explains that the fat and protein content in eggs can support a “healthy blood sugar level” throughout the day, preventing a crash that often tires you, causing sugar cravings, and food items high in carbs.

The TikTok doctor’s claims are backed by Healthline as it states that the high protein in the hard-boiled egg will “help keep you full without affecting your blood sugar.”

A study by Harvard published in 2022 notes that the average healthy person “suffers no harm from eating up to seven eggs per week.”

Furthermore, another study published in the National Library of Medicine found that eating two eggs for breakfast instead of an oatmeal breakfast “resulted in both subjective and objective measures of satiety in a healthy population.”

If you are considering eating more than the recommended number of eggs or suffer from any health issues, we suggest speaking with your doctor before shifting to the new diet.

Sometime back we tried the 5-5-5 method for hard-boiling eggs and the convenient hack saves a lot of time if you’re considering including it in your daily diet.
