🥄 Raw vs. Cooked Eggs: What’s Better?
Some people consume raw eggs (e.g., in smoothies), but there are pros and cons:

Raw eggs may retain slightly more of certain nutrients.

However, they pose a higher risk of foodborne illness—especially from salmonella.

Cooking significantly reduces that risk while preserving most of the nutritional benefits.

âś… Tip: If consuming raw eggs, choose pasteurized eggs from a trusted source. These have been gently heated to kill bacteria without cooking the egg.

⚠️ Who Should Limit or Avoid Eggs?
While eggs are safe for most people, some individuals should be cautious:

Those with heart disease or inherited cholesterol disorders.

People with an egg allergy.

Anyone advised by their healthcare provider to follow a low-cholesterol diet.

🥗 Conclusion
Eggs have regained their reputation as a healthy, valuable part of the modern diet. No longer viewed as harmful, they are celebrated for their:

High-quality protein

Essential vitamins and minerals

Brain-boosting and muscle-supporting benefits

For most healthy adults, eating one to two eggs per day is safe and beneficial.

To get the most out of eggs, pair them with nutrient-rich foods like vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats (like avocado or olive oil)
