HDL removes excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, transporting it to the liver for processing. Nutrients like lecithin and phospholipids in egg yolks support HDL structure and function, enhancing its efficiency in cholesterol removal.
The relationship between egg consumption and HDL levels is dose-dependent, meaning consistent, moderate egg intake yields the best results. Studies also show that egg consumption improves HDL particle size and function, further reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
