🍳 We've long been told that eggs are high in cholesterol and bad for your heart 💔
💡 New research has found that in people with pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes, eggs do not raise cardiovascular risk if they are part of a healthy diet. In fact, for almost anyone who is not sensitive to eggs, these protein powerhouses pose no challenge to overall heart health or weight loss efforts. The key is to focus on maintaining a healthy diet. 😅
We need to consume healthy, natural fats! 🥑 Some important roles of healthy fats in our body include:
- Making Vitamin D
- Forming cell membranes
- Creating bile acids to digest fats
- Digesting key antioxidant vitamins A, D, E, and K
- Necessary for adrenal and reproductive hormones
- 60% of the brain is fat, and it's function is impacted by the fats we consume
👉 It's important to understand the difference between ""good"" and ""bad"" cholesterol. They are actually lipoproteins, small fat and protein packages that transport cholesterol in the body. High-density lipoprotein (HDL), called ""good cholesterol"", helps keep cholesterol away from your arteries and removes excess arterial plaque. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), called “bad” cholesterol, can build up in the arteries, forming plaque that makes them narrow and less flexible. Then we have Triglycerides, a fat that is dangerously linked to heart disease and diabetes and can be elevated by poor lifestyle habits. ❌
👉 These three factors can vary in size within your body; large particles are practically harmless, while the small, dense particles are more dangerous because they can lodge in the arterial walls, causing inflammation, plaque buildup, and complications leading to heart disease. You also need to pay attention to the ratio between your HDL and LDL. The above factors are a more reliable indicator of predicting heart disease risk than looking at your total cholesterol level.
