Eggs Can Be Good For Cholesterol

For a long time, people thought eggs were bad because they might raise cholesterol levels. But actually, eggs can lower LDL cholesterol (the unhealthy kind) and increase HDL cholesterol (the good kind for your heart). A study published in The British Journal of Nutrition found that this change in cholesterol can help stabilize blood pressure and blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.

In a study from 2011, participants who ate two eggs a day experienced these benefits. Eggs are rich in protein, which helps you feel full and stabilizes your blood sugar levels. When eating eggs, it’s best to include the yolk because that’s where most of the egg’s nutrients are found.
