For years, eggs were viewed as a product that raised cholesterol levels and contributed to heart disease. As nutritionist Anna Jedrej notes, new scientific studies are increasingly debunking these beliefs. Although eggs are a staple in many people's diets, they still raise some concerns.
How many eggs can you eat daily?
In a video published on Instagram, Anna Jedrej reminds us that experts recommend consuming 1-2 eggs daily. If anyone has doubts, it's worth consulting a doctor. Eggs are rich in nutrients, and consuming them in recommended amounts should not be a cause for concern.
Among the benefits of consuming eggs mentioned by the nutritionist are:
- providing high-quality protein,
- providing vitamins B, A, D, E, K, as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium,
- having in the yolk lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes and improve vision,
- present in the yolk lecithin, which protects the body from cholesterol build-up,
- eggs are also a source of choline, which supports brain function.

In terms of nutrient content, raw eggs do not have an advantage over boiled eggs, especially soft-boiled eggs. Nutritionists consider these to be the healthiest. An alternative is semi-set scrambled eggs.
