3 Health Benefits of Halloween Deviled Eggs

#1: Protects Your Eyes

When most people think of foods for eye health, their minds immediately go to vitamin A-rich veggies. While vitamin A will definitely provide support to your eyes, there are a couple of other compounds that are eye health superstars — lutein and zeaxanthin.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid phytonutrients that are responsible for the golden hue of egg yellows. They’re also found in abundance in the marigold plant, which has a similar color.

As potent plant compounds, these two phytonutrients act as antioxidants with an infinity for the retina of your eyes[*]. They’ve been specifically studied for their ability to block harmful UV rays coming from blue light — and may protect against cataracts and macular degeneration[*].

#2: Promotes Strong Bones

Mustard is a fantastic source of selenium, an essential mineral that doesn’t get much time in the spotlight. Selenium is involved in a number of metabolic pathways, including DNA synthesis, thyroid hormone metabolism, and reproduction.

The primary site for selenium storage, however, is skeletal muscle, accounting for 28-46% of your body’s total selenium[*].

Selenium plays a crucial role in healthy bone metabolism. As an antioxidant, it enhances immune protection of your bones and protects against oxidative damage. In this way, selenium may be a key nutrient in the protection against osteoporosis by inhibiting bone cell oxidation and destruction[*].

#3: Supports Healthy Blood Pressure

Olives, much like avocados, are one of those interesting fruits that feel more like a vegetable than their sweet counterparts.

One of the benefits of a more savory fruit, however, is that they tend to be higher in fat. And once again, just like avocados, olives are a great source of monounsaturated fatty acids — specifically oleic acid.

Among the many health benefits associated with oleic acid is its potential to help regulate blood pressure. In fact, a number of studies have shown that high olive oil intake is associated with reduced hypertension. While some research suggests that its the antioxidant component of olives that helps to control hypertension, other studies point to oleic acid as the blood pressure regulating element[*].

Regardless of whether its oleic acid, antioxidants, or some other magical compound, olives are shown to consistently contribute to lower levels of hypertension[*].
