Egg consumption is actually good for the heart

Researchers have come with great news for egg lovers, as it turns out egg consumption has a great benefit for the heart. Those who eat an egg per day seem to have a much lower risk of suffering from heart disease than those who do not eat eggs. This contradicts the previous knowledge that eggs are bad for our cholesterol levels but eating them with moderation can really be beneficial.

How does egg consumption impact heart health?

Heart disease is quite a common cause of death mostly everywhere in the world, leading to events like strokes and heart attacks. These are associated with a number of risk factors, and an unhealthy diet is one of them. Given their high cholesterol levels, eggs are on this list, so many people avoid eating them too often. However, they usually overlook the actual benefits of egg consumption.

These products are rich in plenty of nutrients. They are a great source of good protein, vitamins, but also other chemical components like biocarotenoids and phospholipids. However, researchers haven’t been able to find a clear association between egg consumption and heart disease. Therefore, the products have been seen as neither good nor bad.

People who ate eggs more often had smaller chances of suffering cardiac events

This is why a team of scientists from China decided to study these connections in depth. For the research, they looked at data collected from 512,891 people from 10 different Chinese regions. These participants were aged between 30 and 79.

The study started in 2004, when the researchers asked them some questions on their egg consumption. Afterwards, they kept a close look on them and potential diseases they might develop. From all of them, 13.1 percent consumed eggs daily in a moderate amount, while 9.1 percent declared they never ate eggs or did it only rarely.

This is how they observed that daily egg consumption was related to better health results. More precisely, it showed a 26 percent smaller chance of suffering a stroke, while the chance of developing heart disease was 18 percent smaller. Despite all the expectations, these products are actually good for the heart.

The study in question was published in the journal Heart.
