Eggs have long been debated, once blamed for raising cholesterol but now recognized as a healthy food for most people. Research shows that eggs don’t significantly increase heart-disease risk in healthy individuals; trans fats, excess sugar, and processed carbs are bigger concerns.
Your body makes about 80% of its cholesterol, adjusting production based on what you eat. Eggs are high in cholesterol but low in saturated fat and packed with protein, omega-3s, vitamins (A, D, E, B12), minerals, and choline for brain health.
Eating 1–2 eggs a day can help build muscle, support the brain, protect eye health, aid weight management, and strengthen the heart and immune system. They’re versatile, easy to cook, and especially nutritious when pasture-raised.
