15 Amazing Health Benefits of Eggs

Low in LDL Cholesterol, While High in Good HDL Cholesterol

Not that long ago, eggs had a bad reputation for being detrimental to cholesterol levels. Eggs do in fact contain cholesterol, but what we understand now that we didn’t fully understand then is that not all cholesterol is created equal and different sources will have a different effect in the body.To begin, there are two main types of cholesterol; LDL (bad) and HDL (good). Eating eggs, even every day, has been shown to have no significant effect on LDL cholesterol. More than 70% of people had no increase in bad cholesterol even with daily egg consumption, and the increase was only mild in the remaining test subjects.In addition to not increasing LDL cholesterol, eggs actually raise HDL cholesterol, which is a good thing because higher HDL levels are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
