Rich source of nutrition in eggs

Dr. James DiNicolantonio, a cardiovascular research scientist and physician-in-residence at Saint Luke's Mid-America Heart Institute (Kansas City, Missouri, USA) - said: People with or at risk of heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cognitive decline can still eat 6 eggs per week as part of an overall healthy diet.

Dr. James DiNicolantonio asserts that eggs are nature's multivitamin and are very good for health.

A 2023 study published in the journal Nutrients confirmed that eggs provide choline, folate, vitamin D, iodine, B vitamins, and high-quality protein and are no longer considered a risk factor for hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, many questions remain about the benefits and risks of eating eggs regularly.

This study also shows that eggs are nutritious, accessible and affordable. Eggs are healthy and sustainable, rather than risky.

Dr. James DiNicolantonio asserts that eggs have been proven to be a nutritious food that can bring many health benefits.

They are a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, vitamin B12 and selenium. Eggs also contain healthy fats and antioxidants that support brain health and eye health.

Is it safe to eat eggs every day?

Dr. Samrat Shah, an internist at Bhatia Hospital Mumbai (India), confirmed that in general, eating 7 eggs per week is considered safe. However, consuming more than 7 eggs per week can cause some side effects in some people.

"Eggs are high in cholesterol, and consuming too much cholesterol may increase the risk of heart disease in some people," explains Dr. Shah. "It's important to note that the cholesterol in eggs may affect people in different ways. Some people may be more sensitive to dietary cholesterol than others."

Therefore, eggs should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and not in excess.

“If you have a specific health issue or condition, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice,” says Dr. Shah.
