For most people, eggs can absolutely be part of a hearthealthy diet. They offer highquality protein, essential vitamins and minerals, and help promote fullness and satisfaction. The key is the company they keep. Eggs paired with vegetables, whole grains, or avocado create a very different nutritional profile than eggs paired with processed meats and buttered toast. Enjoy eggs in moderation, being mindful of saturated fat, and focus on overall dietary patterns rather than single nutrients.
