Abstract
Plant-based diet (PBD) is considered a dietary pattern with superior health advantages. A PBD can lead to better BMI index, better blood pressure and blood lipid status, and better blood sugar control in patients with metabolic syndrome. Eggs are frequently absent from PBDs, which lead to certain limitations of PBDs. Studies have shown that patients who have metabolic syndrome (MetS) who eat a PBD and consume eggs see an improvement in their plasma biomarkers and patients with MetS can benefit from eggs in two ways. This review covers the potential use of eggs in vegetarian diets and includes information on the health advantages of PBDs, with a focus on additional benefits of these two dietary patterns for people with metabolic syndrome.
