6 Health Benefits of Eating Eggs

EGGS INCREASE GOOD CHOLESTEROL (HDL)

Eggs raise cholesterol, yes. But it’s the good cholesterol (HDL) that reigns. To explain it further, HDL is high-density lipoprotein. It’s been suggested that elevated levels of HDL lower the risk of stroke and heart disease. And just to clear up the cholesterol conundrum, your liver produces cholesterol every day, but when you eat more of it, the liver simply produces less. So, it evens out. Eggs don’t raise cholesterol in the blood of most people, saturated fats from processed foods do. And so does too much red meat.
