Help Relieve Allergy Symptoms This Summer with Eggland's Best

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- With allergy season in full-swing, Eggland's Best (EB), the #1 branded egg in the U.S., has a tasty alternative packed with nutrients that may help with those pesky allergy symptoms. Research suggests that vitamin D may play an important role in the prevention of various allergies.  With superior nutritional benefits, such as six times more vitamin D and more than double the Omega-3s, incorporating Eggland's Best eggs into a healthy diet may help alleviate some discomfort during the stuffy seasons.

"At Eggland's Best, we always encourage our families to choose more nutritious foods for a healthier lifestyle," said Charlie Lanktree, CEO of Eggland's Best. "Our EB eggs are the only eggs with better taste and superior nutrition compared to ordinary eggs."

Allergy symptoms such as strained breathing can be a result of low levels of vitamin D. While an ordinary egg yolk can provide up to 40 IUs of vitamin D, Eggland's Best eggs contain six times more vitamin D than ordinary eggs. Making Eggland's Best eggs a part of your diet is an easy way to increase vitamin D and other nutrients that could help improve lung function. Other symptoms such as dry, itchy eyes and a runny nose develop when the body's immune system overreacts to something in the surrounding environment. Omega-3s can help to boost the immune system, which can help mitigate irritation and congestion, and Eggland's Best eggs contain more than double the amount of Omega-3s than ordinary eggs.

"Incorporating Eggland's Best eggs into your diet to get more vitamin D and Omega-3s is one of the easiest ways to help fight against seasonal allergies," said Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner. "For my clients, I always recommend working EB eggs into delicious recipes such as the Loaded Veggie Omelet from Eggland's Best!"
