One egg a day reduces the risk of stroke by 12%.
With the results of work of doctors from the United States can be found in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. In the words of the Institute EpidStat in Ann arbor, Alexander Dominic (Dominik Alexander) contained in the eggs and products based on eggs antioxidants reduce degrees of oxygen “pressure” on cells and reduce the risk of inflammation.
He also focuses on the fact that eggs are a good source of protein, which reduce the pressure in the blood vessels. In the new study analyzed the results of seven previously presented large-scale works. The authors examined how different food affects the condition of the heart and blood vessels of man.
Attention, among other things, was given to such diseases as coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart attack. All these studies touched on more than 275 thousand volunteers, the observation of which was conducted in the period from 1982 to 2014. As it turned out, the use of at least one egg a day reduces the risk of stroke in elderly years by 12%. The risk of coronary heart disease was reduced by 3-10% depending on the country.
Interestingly, men and women, the results were different. For example, the risk of stroke was lower by 15% in the strong half of mankind, and 8% excellent. But if we talk about coronary heart disease, the effect was the opposite: 19% vs 2%, respectively.
It should also be noted that the best “egg” diet affects people of Japan. This is possibly related to the lifestyle of the people of China. The study also found that eating lots of eggs does not lead to even better performance. In other words, to reduce the risk of several diseases it will be quite a chicken egg a day.
