HEARTY EGGS, HEALTHY HEART

Many people see eggs as a heart attack on a plate. It is actually quite the opposite. Yes the egg yolk is know to be high in cholesterol but eaten with the egg white, it is rich in protein and is actually good for people who want to build mass but not fats. I would say I am addicted to eggs. Yes, I know too much of anything is never good and so now I limit myself to one egg per day. And I exercise, like jogging or cycling or just taking my dogs out for walks can make me pespire. So I guess its all a form of burning the extra fats in my body. Research have shown that people who consumed 2 to 3 eggs per day have a lower risk of getting heart related diseases. This is because an egg contains about 125mg of choline and research shows that people who consume about 310mg of it has a 22 percent lower level of C-reactive protein, which is a marker of inflammation in the body and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. So, it has been proven that eggs are actually good for the heart and anti inflammation. Eggs are not as bad as what many perceive but then again, all things should be practised in moderation too.
