It is believed that the easiest way to get vitamin D is to stand in the sun. However, some people (for example, black people, those who are constantly indoors, those who cover the body for cultural and religious reasons) do not have this opportunity and are deficient in this vitamin at any time of the year.
A recent study found that eating seven eggs a week helped maintain vitamin D levels during the winter months. This experiment involved 51 single adults. The age of the subjects ranged from 25 to 40 years. All of them were divided into three groups, each of which consumed two, seven or 12 eggs per week for 12 weeks.
It also turned out that adding one egg per day to the diet did not have a strong effect on blood cholesterol levels.
