Even pasture-raised chickens from fancy brands usually get extra food — mostly corn and soy — that's high in omega-6 fats.
Eating eggs with omega-3s every day — specifically getting 200mg of a nutrient called DHA — might cut your risk of sudden heart stoppage in half.
Eggs from hens fed flax, chia, or fish oil have more healthy omega-3 fats, making them a good option for people who don’t eat fish but still want these nutrients.
Omega-3s might help calm down inflammation in the body, which could make life easier for people with joint pain or autoimmune diseases.
Getting your omega-3s from foods like special eggs is usually better for you than taking pills.
