eggs.

[Emily]

I know that you all know I eat about 1/2 dozen eggs per day. I cannot
help it...I love them! :) I found this article and I thought I would
pass it along as one more reason to start your day out with eggs.
They really are the perfect food! Have a great day! Em

The Good Egg

One little oval package helps make both happen, and you don't even
have to get a prescription for it (yes, it's legal).

Eggs were reinstated as a health food a while back, when major studies
cleared them of increasing heart attack and stroke risk. Now there's
evidence that people who scramble, boil, or poach one for breakfast --
versus eating a bagel with the same number of calories -- bypass junk-
food cravings and eat fewer calories for at least 24 hours. Without
even trying. While eggs are a good source of nutrients and protein,
for reasons that aren't completely clear, it turns out that they make
your body feel fuller longer.

Not only are you smart, waistwise, for eating them; they’re good brain
food, too. Eggs are packed with selenium, a nutrient that can help
keep your memory sharp and your thinking fast. In fact, people who get
at least 55 micrograms (mcg) a day of selenium have cognitive test
scores that put them in a league with people 10 years younger. An egg
(14 mcg) on whole-grain toast (10 mcg) gets you almost halfway there.
Round out your day with some albacore tuna (63 mcg for 3 ounces),
turkey (27 mcg for 3 ounces), or Brazil nuts (a mother lode at 270 mcg
per half ounce). Repeat the next morning.Find out why eating eggs in
the morning can help you wake up faster.

You know that line about "the incredible, edible . . ."? Looks like
the jingle writer had a clue.
