The relationship between eggs and cardiovascular health has been a subject of debate for a long time. In the past, researchers believed that eating eggs was associated with a higher risk of heart disease. Today, they see things a bit differently.

Eggs themselves aren’t good or bad for your heart. Their nutritional profile has strengths and weaknesses, as most foods do. They’re rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and protein. But they’re also a source of saturated fat.

What matters isn’t so much whether you eat eggs. It’s how often you eat them, the type you eat, how you prepare them, how healthy your heart is and what else you’re eating.

Eggs are a source of dietary cholesterol. That’s the type of cholesterol found in the food you eat — the kind that you see on nutrition labels. A single hard-boiled egg contains about 186 milligrams (mg) of dietary cholesterol. But scientists now know that dietary cholesterol doesn’t affect your blood as much as once thought. The thing you really need to be aware of with eggs is their saturated fat content.

A hard-boiled egg contains about 1.6 grams (g) of saturated fat, with most of the fat coming from the yolk. U.S. dietary guidelines state that, as a general rule, you should aim to eat less than 20 g of saturated fat each day. Research shows that the total saturated fat we eat contributes more to LDL than dietary cholesterol does. LDL cholesterol is sometimes called “bad cholesterol.” If your LDL levels get too high, it can cause plaque buildup known as atherosclerosis, which raises your risk of various health conditions.

How many eggs you can safely eat per week depends on your health, your diet and how you’re preparing them. The American Heart Association recommends that adults who don’t have heart disease limit their egg intake to one egg (or two egg whites) per day — that’s seven eggs (or 14 egg whites) per week. The answer changes if you have heart disease or high cholesterol. Experts recommend limiting yourself to four yolks per week.

Respiratory season usually hits in the fall and winter months, but you won’t get sick just because the weather’s colder or wetter.

But it’s true that cold weather can weaken your immune system. Add all the extra time you’re spending indoors to the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for cold-weather crud.
