US declares no limit on eating eggs

The American Heart Association has removed the cholesterol limit on eggs and recommends eating eggs along with other nutrient-rich foods...

The American Heart Association has just released daily dietary guidelines for people. The special point in the guidelines is that the experts of the Heart Association declare that there is no limit on eating eggs in meals.

For years, many Americans have avoided eggs for fear of consuming too much cholesterol. However, a recent survey conducted by the Egg Nutrition Center found that three-quarters of respondents (74%) said the cholesterol in eggs did not influence their eating decisions. More than three in five respondents (61%) were concerned about the cholesterol in the foods they buy.

The Egg Nutrition Center also released a survey showing that nearly two-thirds of consumers (63%) do not believe that a plant-based diet provides enough protein, and more than four in five consumers (82%) do not believe that eggs are a diet must.

In general, studies show that a diet that is primarily plant-based is better for your health. However, plant-based does not mean just vegetables and fruits, but also includes protein-rich foods such as eggs.

The American Heart Association also said that eggs are suitable for all three groups of people: the American population, people in the Mediterranean region and vegetarians. Eggs play an important role in providing nutrients. An egg includes 13 essential vitamins such as minerals, protein, antioxidants, including a total of 70 calories. Eggs are also one of the natural foods that provide a good source of vitamin D for health and strong bones.

The American Heart Association study also removed the cholesterol limit on eggs and recommended eating eggs along with other nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables and grains. Eggs are nutritious but affordable, so they can help people build a reasonable diet./.
