Enough prejudices, the eggs are good for you. If their consumption is not excessive, they can have a positive effect on blood vessel health he was born in heart. Although “rehabilitated” for some time, we now know with certainty that, in addition to containing numerous precious nutrients, they can help and keep the balance of fats in the blood under control.
The turning point came in 2018, when one Chinese study Published on Heart, proved that whoever ate one egg a day he had an “average 10% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those who did not eat it only occasionally, an 18% lower risk of death from these diseases and almost 30% of haemorrhagic stroke”. As reported ilfattoalimentare.it.now the same scientists, in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Oxford, have studied dozens of metabolites based on egg intake.
Among the 500,000 participants in the original research, the researchers selected 3,400 people who had one diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in the five years of the previous study duration. Then they asked them to indicate their eating habits over the past 12 months on 11 types of food, with a focus on egg consumption. Result: among the various markers, 24 were found to be closely associated with egg consumption and 14 related to the presence of cardiovascular disease.
Crossing all the data, the result was clear: who had had more cardiovascular pathologiesi also had consumed less regularly eggwhile those who on average ate just under one a day had been more protected. Among the most significant markers emerged theapolipoprotein A1, fundamental component of the so-called good cholesterol (HDL), which increases linearly with egg consumption, and which would explain the protection, at least in part.
