Eggs Lower Blood Pressure?

Its no yolk eat more eggs and help lower blood pressure.

Fried eggs for breakfast could help keep blood pressure down, say researchers.

Until just a few years ago the British Heart Foundation advised people to eat no more than a measly three eggs a week.

Eggs lower blood pressure


Scientists have discovered that eggs produce proteins that mimic the action of blood pressure lowering drugs such as Ace inhibitors.

Great news if like me you love to dip a little soldier into a lovely chucky egg first thing in the morning.

But the British Nutrition Foundation has concluded that it is healthy to go to work on an egg

It is saturated fat, rather than the cholesterol found in eggs, that is the main dietary culprit in raising cholesterol levels. Smoking, being overweight and lack of exercise also influence blood pressure, blood fat and cholesterol levels and heart disease risk.


The ingrained misconception linking egg consumption to blood pressure, high cholesteroland heart disease must be corrected.

The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat.

They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritionally dense foods.

If eggs can help lower blood pressure then I'll have two with my bacon and sausage fry up!
