Need some extra energy to get your day started? In a little bit of an afternoon slump, and need a pick-me-up? Get some energy and boost your mood just by eating the right foods, like Eggland's Best eggs.

In a recent article on Fitbie, MSN's health & wellness site, nationally recognized registered dietitians Tammy Lakatos Shames & Elysse Lakatos, known as The Nutrition Twins, featured EB eggs in their list of best foods to make you happier and elevate your mood.more

"Protein-rich eggs help to stabilize blood sugar, and keeping your blood sugar on an even keel can prevent mood swings. The yolks serve up B vitamins, which play a part in making mood lifting neurotransmitters, like serotonin. Bonus: Eggs contain vitamin D, and low levels of the stuff have been linked with depression," says The Nutrition Twins.

"Eat a hardboiled egg with a piece of fruit for a mid-afternoon snack to stabilize your mood. We like Eggland's Best eggs because they contain double the amount of vitamin D and omega-3s, compared in regular eggs, as well as 10 times more vitamin E and 25 percent less saturated fat. Scramble them up with veggies and salmon for breakfast."*

Other foods topping The Nutrition Twins' list include:
