Missing Vitamins – Egg yolks contain vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are fat-soluble and not present in egg whites.
Lack of Healthy Fats – Yolks have essential fats that help your body absorb certain vitamins. Skipping them may lower your fat-soluble nutrient levels.
Reduced Brain Health – Choline, found mainly in yolks, supports brain and nervous system health. Low choline can impair memory and focus.
Poor Eye Health – Yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants important for eye health. Without them, eye strain and vision decline may occur.
Weaker Bones – Vitamin D from yolks helps calcium absorption. Without it, bones may weaken over time.
Hormonal Imbalance – Fats in yolks support hormone production. Low-fat diets can lead to hormonal disruptions, especially in women.
Fatigue and Weakness – Without the full range of nutrients in the yolk, energy levels might drop despite eating high-protein egg whites.
Muscle Cramps – Low potassium and magnesium (mainly in yolks) can cause muscle cramps and irregular heartbeats.
