Are you the type to avoid the consumption of eggs? If yes, you should immediately change the habit. The reason, eating eggs is believed good for heart health.
If you've been overwhelmed with fear to eat eggs because of the threat of high cholesterol, why not try eating them again. In addition to nourish the body with the intake of vitamins in it, eating eggs may help your heart healthier, as stated by the experts.
Experts from the American Egg Dr Don McNamara asserted that the bad reputation of the egg is no longer needed. Even the Heart Foundation would advise people to eat six eggs a week.
"Seniors was afraid to eat eggs for 40 years for fear of sparking a cholesterol diet," said McNamara, biochemical nutritionist.
"But over the years, this study successfully demonstrated that the cholesterol in the diet did not affect normal heart risks caused by saturated fats and trans fats," he added, as written in the Times of India.
Eggs are low in fat and is composed of several vital compounds such as choline is considered good for metabolism and for fetal brain development during pregnancy. There is also the content of lutein, which is known to reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
McNamara said, the people who eat eggs at breakfast tend to feel full longer, reducing the risk of eating too much at lunch.
"Eggs have the highest quality protein you can buy at the supermarket. Even with the price not too expensive, people can meet the content of the substances the body needs such as vitamins and minerals, "he said.
"Eggs can be easily compromised with a healthy diet including those who have normal cholesterol levels, people with high cholesterol levels, diabetics and people with metabolic syndrome," he added.
Heart Foundation has conducted a survey earlier this year and they provide guidance as well as recommending people to eat up to six eggs a week.
"Cholesterol in the diet is not the same as cholesterol in the blood," said a spokesman for Health Foundation, Monique Blunden.
"Saturated fat and trans fat we eat is directly related to increased cholesterol in the blood," he added.
