Eggs have significant nutritional value. That's why most diets include this product in the daily ration, according to Financial Express.
Why you should eat eggs every day
Good for the heart
The risk of heart disease increases due to low-density lipoproteins, also known as LDL cholesterol or "bad" cholesterol. Compared to large LDL particles, small dense LDL particles are usually more dangerous. Eggs reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, although they slightly increase the level of LDL cholesterol because they tend to change the structure of LDL cholesterol from dense to large.
Maintain cholesterol levels
Consuming eggs is associated with higher levels of HDL (high-density lipoproteins), also known as "good" cholesterol. As a result, this helps control cholesterol levels.
Contain choline
Most people are unaware of the importance of choline as a nutrient. It supports the development of cell membranes, as well as the health of the cardiovascular system and the brain. One egg contains about 100 milligrams of choline, making it an excellent source of this vitamin.
Eye health
Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin are two nutrients that can help prevent the deterioration of our eye health. These two antioxidants have been found to reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts, and it is well-known that egg yolks contain a significant amount of zeaxanthin and lutein.
Weight control
Eggs provide nourishment due to their high protein content. This contributes to calorie intake reduction and supports weight loss. A breakfast with eggs can be very beneficial for weight control.
