One chicken egg contains roughly a quarter of the daily requirement for selenium, an anti-inflammatory nutrient vital for cardiovascular health -- selenium deficiency has been linked to cardiovascular disease and cardiac arrest. A recent study carried out in Sweden has shown supplementing selenium and CoQ10 almost halves the rate of cardiovascular-related deaths in adults. The supplements improved overall heart function and reduced the number of hospital stays following cardiovascular surgeries.
