Doctors Warn: This Common Way of Eating Boiled Eggs Can Clog Your Arteries

Expert Tip: Swap the Yolk for the White:

To minimize risks, nutritionists recommend using only the egg white, which is rich in high-quality protein (albumin) and extremely low in cholesterol. For those who want daily protein intake without added fat, consider alternatives such as skinless chicken breast, soybeans, lentils, or tofu.

Nutrition Isn’t Everything — Lifestyle Matters Too:

Maintaining cardiovascular health isn’t just about cutting back on yolks. Doctors emphasize the importance of a balanced lifestyle alongside dietary changes. Key recommendations include:

• Reduce intake of red meat, fried foods, and saturated fats.

• Use heart-healthy oils like olive oil or canola oil instead of butter or lard.

• Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, leafy greens, fresh fruits, and legumes.

• Avoid refined sugars, trans fats, and ultra-processed snacks.

• Exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, and limit alcohol consumption.
