3 reasons egg yolk is actually good for you

Don't know where this myth came from that egg yolk is not good for human body. It has large amount of cholesterol, which may not be good for heart. But as per latest research, it has no negative side effects and is absolutely safe for people to have and reap its great health benefits.

Here are some egg yolk benefits:

1 Loaded with minerals and vitamins: Ironically egg yolk has more vitamins than an egg white! Surprisingly yolk is one the few food items which is loaded with vitamin D.

But what we do is overlook everything, follow what others tell us about how egg yolk can raise our cholesterol and should not be consumed.

It is time for you to stop listening to such baseless theories and start having egg yolk.

2 Great for eyes: Do you know that egg yolk is great for human eyes?

Especially how helpful it can be for people who are suffering from cataracts!

Besides it is also helpful for people who want to improve their vision. Think about it, next time you say no to an egg yolk.

3 Egg cholesterol has nothing to do with blood cholesterol: Egg yolk has approx 200mg of cholesterol but this dietary cholesterol doesn't raise our body's blood cholesterol.

On the contrary, egg yolk increases our HDL (high density lipids), which is good cholesterol.
