If your Mom (or Dad) has been diagnosed with heart disease and eggs are one of
the foods they now avoid, it may be wise to put them on the menu.
That’s right, eggs do not contribute to heart disease, in fact, they (eggs) may actually
improve heart health. Still not convinced? That’s okay, just continue to read this post
and find out more information.


The good news:
Eggs may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, (CVD).
No- that’s not a misprint. Researchers say that eggs are in fact good for you
and especially good for your heart.

Why are they so good?
Eggs contain B vitamins, and these are the vitamins that are necessary
to reduce plaque buildup and oxidative stress that can lead to heart disease.
So, if you’ve been avoiding eggs, put them back on the menu, eat 2 to 4 each week
and lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 55%.

And if you tire of scrambled, fried and poached eggs, here’s a recipe for
the popular Mom’s day Brunch and picnic favorite-Deviled Eggs.

Corny Deviled Eggs!
Ingredients:
8 eggs
2/3 cup of mayonnaise *
2 Tbs. of Dijon mustard
1/3 cup of chopped onion (red or yellow)
Alfalfa sprouts and fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
1/3 cup of corn-cooked
* Concerned about the calories in mayonnaise?
Use low-cal Mayo or plain yogurt.
To make:
In a pot, combine the eggs with enough water to cover by 1″, over
high heat, bring to a boil. Cover. Remove from heat; let stand 10 mins. Drain.
Cover eggs with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel and halve.
Transfer egg yolks to a bowl, reserving the whites. Using fork, mash yolks
with mayonnaise and mustard; stir in onion, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. of pepper.
If using, spread the alfalfa sprouts over serving platter. Transfer whites, cut side
up, to the platter. Dividing evenly, spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves.
Top with corn, If desired, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
One last tip:
As you now know eggs can benefit your heart health, but just make sure
you watch the foods that often accompany eggs. You know- foods like
toast, O. Juice, coffee with lots of sugar, fatty bacon and sausage,
hash browns, margarine and cheese.
