Many people are convinced that egg yolk increases cholesterol and try to eat only egg whites.

However, experts believe that it is better to eat eggs whole.

What is healthier: egg white or yolk?

To get the maximum benefit, you need to eat the whole egg, experts say.

This also applies to athletes looking to gain muscle mass.

A special study was conducted which showed that the rate of protein synthesis in muscles is higher when consuming whole eggs.

It makes sense to limit the consumption of yolk only for people with impaired lipid metabolism and a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

In these cases, it is recommended to eat one egg every 2-3 days.

Earlier we talked about what will happen to the body if you eat walnuts every day.
