Cardiologists do recommend eggs as eggs can be a part of a healthy diet when they are consumed or eaten in moderation.

Eggs are nutrient dense as a source of protein, vitamins and minerals.

For most healthy people, eating up to one whole egg per day is acceptable, although some people can eat 2 whole eggs a day or sometimes more.

Eating one whole egg per day or 2 whole eggs per day should have no adverse effects on your cardiovascular health or cholesterol.

Older people can also eat up to 2 eggs per day and remain healthy.

According to the American Heart Association, dietary cholesterol is not a primary nutrient of concern for most people.

And while eggs are okay to eat, even for those with high cholesterol and health issues, moderation is key.

It's recommended that you limit your intake of eggs to around 7 whole eggs per week.

Eggs should also be boiled or cooked in a non stick pan instead of being fried in butter or paired with other high saturated fat foods like bacon or sausage.

Eggs also contain high quality protein as well as choline which are good for your brain and nerves, and antioxidants like zeaxanthin and lutein.

Cardiologists agree that eggs, especially the yolk can be a part of a healthy diet for most people, when eaten in moderation.

Cardiologists often suggest up to one egg daily for healthy people and up to 2 eggs for older adults.

Although people with existing heart disease or diabetes, should consult with their doctor and limit egg yolks to around 3 per week due to cholesterol concerns.

Also you should focus on healthier preparation methods like pairing with avocado or olive oil instead of sausage and bacon.

Eggs are healthy in moderation, even if you have high cholesterol as eating a few eggs a day or every now and then will generally not raise your cholesterol.

Eggs when eaten in moderation are healthy and they are healthiest when boiled or scrambled and not fried in oils.
