what are we talking about again is this about multivitamins nope these vitamins and nutrients can be found in an egg and it's cheaper than all those pricey supplements you're not yet sold are you alright you've heard that eggs particularly the yolks contain an insane amount of cholesterol but did you know that cholesterol is not entirely bad according to the website medical news today it can be found in every cell in your body gasp yeah this waxy and fat-like substance plays an important role in digestion and vitamin D production it also helps generate steroid hormones like testosterone estrogen and cortisol note that it has two types low density lipoproteins or LDL also known as bad cholesterol and high density lipoproteins or HDL the good cholesterol the American Heart Association explains the difference between the two LDL contributes to fatty build ups and arteries or the process known as arteriosclerosis and increases the risk for heart attack stroke and peripheral artery disease on the other hand HDL knocks out LDL by taking it away from the arteries and dumping it on the liver to break it down and annihilate it completely the American Heart Association didn't define HDL in that streetfighter style but you get the gist so the more HDL and the less s DL you have the better but what type of cholesterol will you find in an egg is it HDL nope Oh No then it's LDL nope

reduce blood pressure levels improve blood vessel function and delay the build-up of plaque in coronary arteries pretty cool huh in the case of dietary cholesterol several studies proved that eggs don't increase the risk of heart disease according to health line hmm it seems that both eggs and cholesterol are victims of bad press but they're actually good guys well except for LDL now that we've shown you that eggs are innocent what are the benefits you can get from them number one eggs keep you full and help with weight loss these two are connected one of the characteristics of filling foods or foods that satiate hunger is that they're rich in protein a large egg contains about 6 grams of quality protein which may help you eat less for several hours after a meal as a result this helps you
