Nutrient rich
High cholesterol is linked to cardiovascular disease and a single egg has 180-186 mg cholesterol. However your liver can generate 1000-2000 mg on a daily website. Your body is clever though as it can vary the production depending on what you eat. So whether you eat a high or low cholesterol diet your blood cholesterol content will be monitored by your liver.
And the cholesterol that eggs contain is the good kind, HDL cholesterol. The good cholesterol helps your body produce the hormones testosterone, estrogen, cortisol and vitamin D.

Something else found in eggs is Choline. Choline is great for pregnant women (just make sure they’re properly cooked!). Choline is essential to reduce abnormalities developing in fetuses. It also helps stimulate the brain and helps with your memory. Not having enough choline in the body can damage muscles and cause liver fatty disease.
Eyes
