The researchers revealed people who ate eggs every day, probably had a lower risk of heart attack and stroke than those who did not eat eggs at all. This is revealed in a large study in China.
Reported by Reuters, researchers conducted a check of survey data on egg consumption to 461,213 adults who are on average 51 years of age and have no history of heart disease. In the survey, on average they ate half an egg each day. In details, about 9 percent of them avoid eggs altogether. Then 13 percent, eat about one egg every day.
There are at least half of the participants, followed for nine years or more. During that time, as many as 83,977 people had heart disease or had had a heart attack or stroke. While as many as 9,985 died because of this condition.
In addition, the study also found, compared to people who never eat eggs, people who eat an average of 0.76 eggs per day ie as many as 11 percent of the number of participants, experiencing a smaller possibility for potentially affected by cardiovascular disease.
"It's important for people, especially those in parts of the world where eggs are the main source of high-quality protein and other essential nutrients for the body," says a researcher at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Dr Luc Djousse, who was not involved in the study .
