It is good to eat vegetable salad with eggs, as they help to absorb carotenoids - fat-soluble nutrients that reduce inflammation, experts at Purdue University say.

The experiment was attended by 16 volunteers. The subjects were asked to eat vegetable salads without eggs, with 1.5 eggs and 3 eggs at different times.. Researchers added 3 grams of canola oil to all salads..

In the second salad, there were 75 grams of whole egg omelette, and in the third - 150 grams of whole egg omelette. As a result, the level of carotenoid absorption after consuming the third salad by volunteers was 3.8 times higher than after salad without eggs, Meddaily writes..

Experts explained that raw vegetable salads contain several types of carotenoids, including beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene. In turn, eggs are rich in nutrients.. They contain many essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins.. All these ingredients help vegetables become healthier..
