Eggs are part of a healthy diet for lower blood pressure
Eggs used to be considered unhealthy but now they may become recommended in a diet for lower blood pressure. Eggs became demonized because they are high in cholesterol, which is blamed for causing high blood pressure and heart disease.
But now it looks like the cholesterol in eggs can actually help lower blood pressure. Researchers have found that the protein in eggs acts like ACE inhibitors, a powerful class of hypertension drugs. Other research is even casting doubt on the whole theory of cholesterol as a cause of heart disease. What it means is that you can eat as many eggs as you like without any risk.
