3. Eggs raise good cholesterol.

Eat eggs and your good cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein will rise. Over six weeks, eating two eggs a day raised HDL levels by ten percent according to a research. Higher HDL individuals run less risk of heart disease, stroke, and other medical conditions.
Because HDL is so important in removing extra cholesterol from the bloodstream and transferring it back to the liver for processing and removal, this positive impact on HDL cholesterol is especially notable. The special mix of nutrients in eggs, including lecithin and other phospholipids found in the yolk, explains their capacity to increase HDL levels. These molecules increase the efficiency of HDL particles by supporting their structure and operation, therefore helping to remove cholesterol.
Furthermore, the link between HDL levels and egg intake seems to be dose-dependent, so consistent, modest egg intake may offer best results. Studies have also revealed that the rise in HDL cholesterol brought on by egg intake is usually accompanied with favorable changes in HDL particle size and function, hence perhaps boosting its preventive action against cardiovascular disease.
