๐ณ To eat eggs or not to eat eggsโthat is the question. The American Heart Associationโs latest guidelines on whole egg consumption are outlined below:
-Healthy Adults: One whole egg per day can be part of a heart-healthy diet.
-Healthy Older Adults: Up to two eggs daily is acceptable, thanks to their nutrient density and convenience.
-Need more protein? Add extra egg whites to your meals without the added saturated fat.
-Worried about cholesterol? Donโt beโmultiple studies now show that dietary cholesterol from eggs is not a concern for most people.
๐ณ Nutritional Highlights:
Whole eggs are packed with high-quality protein, vitamin A, B12, riboflavin, iron, choline, and luteinโkey nutrients for brain health, memory, and overall wellness.
โ๏ธIf youโre managing high cholesterol, the AHA recommends keeping saturated fat intake below 6% of your total daily calories. Egg yolks do contain some saturated fat, so keep that in mind.
