Few foods in this world get a worse reputation than EGGS.

Yes, eggs have a lot of fat and cholesterol.

BUT you don't have to run for the hills at the sight of a sunny-side-up egg…

Even if you have heart problems or high cholesterol!

A study study published in the journal Heart found that people who eat an egg a day have:

• A 12% lower risk of heart disease
• AND an 18% lower risk of cardiovascular disease-related death!

But that's not all…

The study also found that daily egg consumption reduced the risk of stroke by 26% and the risk of stroke-related death by a staggering 28%!

You see, eggs pack a wallop of great nutrition. One large egg contains 6 grams of protein and 14 important nutrients—including folate, iron, zinc, choline, and vitamins A, B12, D, and E – all of which help promote a healthy heart.

So, despite the bad press, it turns out that eating the occasional egg ISN'T bad for you.

According to the study, all you need is ONE egg per day to lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. That's it!

My go-to egg recipe is easy, simple, and keeps your fridge stocked every day of the week.

When it comes to eating eggs, I love to make hard-boiled eggs.

I boil a carton of eggs every Sunday night so that I have my eggs prepared and ready to go for the week.

Toss in a side of fruit – or even heart-healthy oatmeal – and you have a quick, convenient, and healthy breakfast every day of the week!

Hard-boiled eggs can sometimes be tricky… especially when it comes to peeling the shells. Check out these helpful tips and tricks to getting those pesky shells off your hard-boiled eggs.
