Eating eggs reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Eggs have been found to improve glucose balance and have been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and lower blood glucose levels.
Men in the study who ate four eggs a week had a 37pc lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those who only ate one egg a week.

Eat oysters to avoid zinc deficiency which can reduce the body’s power to fight inflammation.
Scientists now believe lack of sufficient levels of zinc may play a role in chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
“When you take away zinc, the cells that control inflammation appear to activate and respond differently; this causes the cells to promote more inflammation,” said Emily Ho, a professor and director of the Moore Family Center for Whole Grain Foods, Nutrition and Preventive Health.
People with low levels of vitamin D are more likely to suffer from diabetes regardless of how much they weigh.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bone and muscle health.
The skin produces the vitamin naturally after exposure to sunlight.
People also absorb small amounts through foods like fortified milk.
