Health Benefits

Egg bonda offers an entire host of positive health benefits that make it a standout snack. The primary ingredients are of course eggs, which are nutritional powerhouses. Eggs are high in protein. Protein is a fundamental building block of the body; it’s used to make cells, improve muscle quality, repair cell damage, etc. Beyond protein benefits, eggs alter cholesterol levels. Eggs have high levels of cholesterol on their own, but the cholesterol provided by eggs doesn’t raise cholesterol in the blood, instead it takes some of the work from the liver which is also producing cholesterol. Eggs also lower LDL cholesterol levels which help reduce heart disease.
