No food has had a turnaround like eggs: once cardiovascular and cholesterol demons, they\u2019re now considered an essential, regular part of a healthy diet.<\/p>\n

That attitude is reinforced by a new study published in the\u00a0Journal of the American College of Nutrition<\/em>, which suggests eggs lower your risk of having a stroke.<\/p>\n

The research, which analysed a number of studies undertaken between 1982 and 2015, found that eating one egg per day is associated with a 12 percent reduction in stroke risk.<\/p>\n

Strokes are\u00a0one of the top killers in Australia<\/a>, so lowering the chances of having one is a big deal.<\/p>\n

So why does eating eggs fend off strokes? Dominik Alexander, a doctor from the EpidStat Institute in Michigan and the study\u2019s principal investigator, said more research is needed to answer that question \u2014 though he does have some theories.<\/p>\n

“Eggs do have many positive nutritional attributes, including antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation,\u201d he said\u00a0in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThey are also an excellent source of protein, which has been related to lower blood pressure.”<\/p>\n

His team\u2019s research also confirmed there\u2019s no link between coronary heart disease and egg consumption, which squares with\u00a0the Australian Dietary Guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month eggs scored yet another point in their favour from Australian research, which found that\u00a0Aussies who eat more of them generally have better diets overall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Eggs are an extremely nutritious wholefood \u2013 a great choice in a healthy and balanced daily diet,\u201d said CSIRO professor Manny Noakes in October.<\/p>\n

Dr Alexander\u2019s research was partially funded by the American Egg Board, which uses funds from egg farmers for promotion and research.<\/p>\n

The Heart Foundation\u00a0currently recommends<\/a>\u00a0that people consume no more than six eggs a week \u2013 which can be broken down into three meals of two eggs.<\/p>\n
