Eggs are highly nutritional foods that are filled with proteins and are an excellent source of energy. However, the yolks contain cholesterol and so many people throw them out. This is a common misconception as the yolks are the most nutritious part of the egg. Also, studies have shown that consuming egg yolks have no effect on the levels of blood cholesterol. In fact, egg yolks have HDL or the ‘good’ kind of cholesterol and change LDL or the ‘bad’ cholesterol to form that is not harmful. Besides this, eggs are full of high-quality protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants- almost every nutrient your body needs. They are also ideal for those on a diet as they are very filling and can be consumed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lastly, eggs are cheap and easily available, as well as being very easy to prepare in a number of different recipes. So, next time eat your entire egg, yolks included, the way Nature intended you to.
