Nutrition Research disprove outdated myths about the connection between eggs and increased cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Telegram channel “Doctor in the Pocket”.
Doctors and nutritionists claim that chicken eggs are not only safe for heart health, but also have a number of beneficial properties that play an important role in maintaining the general health of the body.
One of the key features of eggs is their high content of lutein, an antioxidant that effectively supports and protects eye health. Interestingly, the body absorbs lutein from eggs much better than from most other foods, which makes them an important element of the diet for people who care about their vision. Regular consumption of eggs helps reduce the risk of age-related changes in the organs of vision.
In addition, eggs are a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are usually associated with seafood.
One egg contains about the same amount of omega-3 acids as 100 grams of salmon. These fatty acids have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, reducing inflammation and helping to maintain normal levels of triglycerides in the blood.
Chicken eggs are also rich in choline and B vitamins, making them essential for maintaining cognitive activity and brain health. Choline helps transmit nerve impulses and plays an important role in the development and maintenance of memory functions and muscle activity.
B vitamins help produce energy needed for life and are involved in cellular metabolism.
Contrary to popular belief about the harm of cholesterol contained in eggs, modern scientific data show that dietary cholesterol from food does not have a significant effect on blood cholesterol levels in most people.
The lion's share of cholesterol in the body is synthesized by the liver, and its level is regulated by internal mechanisms of the body. At the same time, eggs contain important unsaturated fats that help maintain normal lipid balance in the body.
