Chicken eggs do more good than harm. This was confirmed by a recent study by scientists.

28 participants of the scientific work, aged from 18 to 35 years, were given eggs to eat. The volunteers were divided into three groups. The first one ate 3 whole eggs every day. The second group ate three egg whites each, and the third, control group, did not eat eggs at all.

The division of the product into two parts - yolks and proteins - is due to the fact that each of these "components" contains its own trace elements and vitamins. It is believed that the yolk increases the level of "harmful" cholesterol in the blood, but at the same time it contains copper, calcium, iron, zinc and a whole complex of other useful substances, and the protein is saturated with magnesium and potassium, which is good for the heart and blood vessels.

Moreover, the amount of these substances is quite large, which makes it possible to classify eggs as one of the most useful products. Eating an egg, a person receives a whole mix of multivitamins and minerals, as well as other bioactive components.

The scientists found out that the first group of participants increased the number of many trace elements in the body. Including selenium, lutein, and even vitamins D and B12. In addition, they had an increased level of choline, a nutrient that is considered "good" cholesterol. It is he who prevents the development of dangerous diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

Both egg white alone and whole eggs also increased the level of isoleucine in the blood - this is an amino acid that leads to insulin resistance, that is, it can provoke the development of diabetes. However, scientists found out that in the first group that ate whole eggs, this effect was neutralized due to the content of another amino acid - glycine, which is able to minimize this effect.

Whole eggs also had a positive effect on blood and immune cells.

Experts have come to the conclusion that eggs are a completely healthy and useful product that every person needs. The only thing worth remembering is moderation. It is important for any, even the most healthy, diet. An excess of these or other substances in the body can harm, but at their norm, the negative impact is minimal.

Researchers recommend eating 5-6 eggs a week or one a day.
