Eggs & Heart Health

Research from leading health experts, including the American Heart Association, supports that eggs can be part of a heart-healthy diet. For most healthy adults, eating eggs does not negatively affect blood cholesterol levels.

Eggs fit seamlessly into many heart-smart eating patterns, including Mediterranean, DASH, low-carb, and plant-based diets. They also help your body absorb key nutrients from vegetables, such as vitamin E and carotenoids.

With their nutrient density and versatility, eggs are a heart-friendly choice that can enhance both flavor and nutrition in any meal plan.
