2. Rich in heart-supporting nutrients
Choline: Promotes the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system and also helps regulate homocysteine levels, a compound that, when elevated, is associated with heart disease.
Vitamin D: essential for endothelial function (lining of blood vessels) and for regulating blood pressure.
Selenium and vitamin B12: Promote the production and circulation of red blood cells.
3. Satiety and weight management
Eggs help you feel full for longer, which can reduce cravings and make weight management easier. This is important for lowering the risk of high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and other vascular diseases.
To be considered: cholesterol and saturated fatty acids
1. Cholesterol from food is not a major problem for most people.
A hard-boiled egg contains about 186 mg of cholesterol, mainly in the yolk.
Current research shows that dietary cholesterol has only a minimal effect on blood cholesterol levels in most people.
The US dietary guidelines for 2020-2025 no longer set an upper limit for cholesterol in the diet, but recommend moderation.
However:
People with type 2 diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, or a history of heart disease may need to limit their egg yolk consumption.
In such cases, speak to a doctor or other medical professional.
2. Hard-boiled eggs can be better than fried eggs.
Hard-boiled eggs contain no saturated fats or oxidized oils that can damage blood vessels. Therefore, hard-boiled eggs are likely a heart-healthier alternative to eggs fried in butter or processed oils.
