Is eating 1 egg a day plus the yolk bad for my high blood pressure? if it is ill stop but i heard the yolks is very healthy for the brain

No problem: Eating 1 egg a day including the yolk will not risk your blood pressure. And yes, nutrients in the yolk are healthy for your brain. These include omega-3 fats like dha, and also choline. For more info, see: http://tinyurl.Com/2qjcwg and also: http://tinyurl.Com/mqhdhg9 find pastured (more expensive but maybe worth it) eggs if you can. Resources: http://www.Localharvest.Org/.
