Eggs are one perfect food you need in your diet because they contain almost all the important nutrients your body needs including zinc, calcium, protein, vitamin A, B2, B5, B6, B12, D, and E.
One to two eggs per day should be safe, however, consuming three to five eggs can cause severe health issues.
This is because eggs contain about 200 milligrams of cholesterol which is a lot of cholesterol.
The World Health Organisation recommended 300 mg of cholesterol per person per day and if you have heart-related issues, then you should not consume more than 200 mg of cholesterol per day.
A boiled or raw egg has 186.5mg of cholesterol, and 184.5mg of cholesterol when fried.
Taking excessive cholesterol into the body can increase your risk of heart disease including high blood pressure and stroke. It also increases fatty deposits in the blood vessels which makes it difficult for blood to flow through the arteries.
Some studies have shown that the more cholesterol you take into the body, the more you destroy your arteries.
The American Heart Association, a non-profit national health agency recommended that a maximum of 2 eggs per day should be consumed if you are a healthier person, while heart patients can only eat one egg per day.
