Chicken eggs tend to be one of the healthiest sources of protein, and they are often recommended in healthy diets.
At the same time, they are only good when you eat them in moderation - just like anything else.
Here are a few examples, why.
Cholesterol Content
While it was previously believed that dietary cholesterol had a significant impact on blood cholesterol levels, recent research has shown that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a limited effect on blood cholesterol.
However, individuals with certain health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, may need to limit their dietary cholesterol intake.
Saturated Fat
While eggs provide essential nutrients, including protein and various vitamins and minerals, they also contain saturated fat.
Consuming too much saturated fat can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and potentially increase the risk of heart disease.
Allergies and Sensitivities
Eggs are one of the common food allergens, and some individuals may have allergic reactions or sensitivities to egg proteins.
If you have known allergies or sensitivities to eggs, it's important to avoid consuming them or consult with a healthcare professional for guidance.
Varied Nutrient Profile
While eggs offer many essential nutrients, relying solely on eggs for a large portion of your diet can lead to an imbalance in nutrient intake.
Food Safety Concerns
Consuming raw or undercooked eggs can pose a risk of foodborne illnesses, such as salmonella infection.
