A group of American researchers decided to study the effect of chicken eggs on health and longevity. For a month, experts compared the effects of a diet without eggs, with three egg whites and with three whole eggs. Participants aged 18 to 35 were involved in the scientific work.
An endocrinologist evaluated the results of her colleagues' research. She noted that positive results were shown by the group whose diet included whole chicken eggs. Its participants had a normal level of cholesterol in their blood, their body weight did not increase, and the condition of their blood vessels and heart improved.
Instead, scientists found out that a diet with the addition of eggs has a positive effect on markers of insulin resistance, and an increase in the level of "good" cholesterol helps to minimize the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
The researchers did not specify which eggs were given to the participants, but according to the doctor, this product is recommended to be boiled and eaten whole. Egg yolks contain biologically active nutrients and compounds that improve metabolism and strengthen immunity.
The specialist emphasized that eggs are one of the best options for animal protein. You can eat them for breakfast or lunch. Per day, the permissible norm is from two to five eggs.
Scrambled eggs and an omelet are also suitable for breakfast, but it is best if there are more boiled eggs in the diet. During heat treatment, the product loses most of its useful properties. In addition, together with oil and bacon, which many people like to add to the pan, excess fat appears in the dish.
