Research Study Suggests An Egg A Day May Reduce Cardiac Risk
Cardiac Risk: It is evident by a new study which is conducted in China that eating an egg a day may contribute to lower cardiac risk or cardiovascular disease risk.
CNN reported that the particular study found that persons who consume egg
on an everyday basis had 18 percent lower chances of dying from cardiovascular disease.
Earlier, most of the doctors would preferably warn their patients from
too many eggs. This is because they actually believed that despite the presence
of high-quality protein as well as other positive nutritional components, there
is also the presence of high amounts of cholesterol in the eggs which the
doctors thought might be harmful to health. However, in accordance with the
co-author of the study, Canqing Yu, generally the existing studies which were
conducted on the association between cardiovascular diseases as well as egg are
considered to be controversial. This was mainly due to the limited information
and also a small sample size.
Many of the past studies which were conducted in this regard mainly
provided only limited evidence from the Chinese population. Yu said that it
particularly has huge differences in terms of diseases patterns, lifestyle
behaviors and also dietary habits.
These are generally the most
important reason for which he, as well as his colleague, decided to investigate
the relationship existing between cardiovascular diseases and eating eggs.
This particular study also found
that slightly more than 13 percent of the adults ranging in the age from the 30
to 79 said that they ate about an egg a day. On the other hand, over 9 percent
mainly reported never or very rarely enjoying an egg. But, all of these
participants ate chicken, but not eggs and also ducks.
After that, this selected group was
tracked by the research team over nearly nine years. During the study, they
majorly focused on the major coronary events.
According to Yu, one of the leading causes
for most of the deaths in China is considered to be cardiovascular disease. So,
it particularly accounts for about half of the total mortality.
Yu also added that the first cause
of the premature death is mainly the stroke which includes ischemic as well as
hemorrhagic stroke which is again followed by the ischemic heart disease. During
the conduction of this particular research, it was mainly found by the
researchers that eating of about an egg a day is related to the lower heart
disease or cardio risk when compared
with not eating eggs.
The participants who were involved
in eating up to one egg on an everyday basis had a 26 percent lower risk of the
hemorrhagic stroke. This thing is again very common in China than in the United
State or the others i.e. high-income countries. Also, it is evident from this
study, that the egg eaters also preferably enjoyed a 28 percent lower risk of
dying from the stroke.
Also, about 12 percent of the less
risk of ischemic heart disease is also experienced by the egg eaters. Yu said,
on the basis of the results of the study that eating of the eggs in a moderate
amount is usually linked with a lower prevalence of the cardiovascular or heart
diseases. This thing applies in case of the hemorrhagic stroke.
Final Words
In this way, it is generally evident from this
research study that consumption of egg on an everyday basis has the capability
to reduce cardiac risk. This
study is considered to be really very important and it can change the thought
of the doctors on eggs. But, many of the studies are also needs to be conducted
in the future days, in order to find the other important benefits of eggs which
are still unknown to the people.
