Amazing Health Benefit of Boiled Egg in Breakfast

Boiled Egg in Breakfast

An imbalanced diet cause nutrient deficiencies or excess which affects human health. Eggs are used to support the balanced diet and keto diet and the nutritional demand of humans. Though the egg is inexpensive but possesses multiple bioactive components, optimum calories, and cholesterol which provide benefits to form a balanced keto diet and amazing health benefits to overall human health throughout life.

Prevent Heart Disease Risk

One of the best sources of top-notch protein is eggs. Egg proteins have been proven to possess antioxidants such as carotenoids and phosvitin, which contain many phosphoserines that enhance antioxidant activity and prevent cell damage and degenerative processes of heart and blood vessels.

Egg lipoproteins include LDL and HDL. The LDL in the yolk account for about 2/3 of the whole egg. 90 percent of egg yolk cholesterol stored in LDL is in free form, which plays an important role in maintaining the lipoprotein structure.

In addition to protein, egg also contains a large number of active lipid components such as unsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol. American Heart Association (AHA) recommended that dietary cholesterol consumption should be no more than 300 milligrams per day whereas in medium-sized eggs /50 grams contain 186 milligrams of cholesterol so eating one egg per day is not associated with heart disease.

A homeostatic Cholesterol regulation system; exists in the body. The loss of cholesterol homeostasis results in abnormal cholesterol metabolism associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and stroke. CVD is one of the leading causes of death globally which is continuously increasing. Recent Research explores that Phospholipids, found in eggs contribute to regulating this system by absorbing intestinal cholesterol.

The consumption of one boiled egg daily, especially for breakfast plays an important to regulate the Homeostatic Cholesterol Regulation System.

Help Weight-loss

High protein in Egg yolk has a significantly greater satiety effect than other protein sources. Some research concluded that a continuous 6-8-week intake of boiled eggs in breakfast develops a significant change in satiety hormones which increases satiety levels.

Prevent Eye Health

Age-related macular degradation is a disease that blurs vision An egg containing 330 micrograms of carotenoids (Lutein and Zeaxanthin) reduced the risk of AMD. Lutein which is found in the human eye protects the eye tissues from sunlight damage and improves eye health and reduces the risk of blindness and vision impairment. 

Improves Brain Health

The major Component of egg yolk is phospholipids. 60 percent of the brain consists of lipids that need a large number of phospholipids to regulate brain cells’ structure, and function and improve cognitive functions such as memory, speed, processing, and attention.

Strengthen the Gut

Another important role of phospholipids is to help the small intestine to absorb cholesterol intake whereas an excess amount of phospholipids affect the physical and chemical properties of micelles and may hinder the vesicle transformation. (Vesicle is the cargo system of protein in the human body).
