The body needs it to build healthy cells, and make vitamin D, hormones, and fat-dissolving acids. The liver and intestines make about 80% of the cholesterol present inside your body. The remaining 20% comes from food sources. This is why one\u2019s diet and lifestyle changes can keep the cholesterol level in control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since egg yolks contain 186 milligrams of cholesterol, it is important to eat eggs in moderation to keep the cholesterol level in check.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people can have one full egg a day without any risk of cardiac problems or stroke. But people belonging to the \u201cat-risk\u201d group should eat no more than three full eggs per week. If you want to cut the cholesterol, you can simply take egg whites which have protein instead of eating whole eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>Bottom Line<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating eggs is not unhealthy.
