Desk Report,
It was once said that eating too many eggs was harmful to the body. However, medical scientists have now moved away from that position. A study conducted in China based on a large survey has made at least one thing clear that eating an egg every day does not pose any risk to the heart or blood circulation. On the contrary, an egg every day is beneficial for health.
For a long time, eggs have been misrepresented as the ‘enemy of the body’. Many people believed that eggs are a source of salmonella bacteria, that eggs increase cholesterol levels in the blood, and that eating eggs increases blood pressure. But now, medical scientists are changing their views on eggs.
According to research, a standard-sized egg (58 grams) contains 4.6 grams of fat. Only a quarter of this is saturated or trans fat, which is considered harmful. If someone does not already have cholesterol, heart disease, or fatty liver problems, then this amount of cholesterol is not harmful to the human body.
Eggs contain a lot of protein, vitamins A, D, B, and B12. Apart from this, there are two essential elements called lutein and zeaxanthin, which help prevent eye damage in old age. Egg yolks contain some vitamin D. However, it is not good to eat anything in excess. Although eggs are an ‘important source of protein’, one thing to be careful about is that we get a lot of protein from other foods, which is often two to three times more than the daily requirement for the body.
