Cardiologist Elena Anshina: Eggs are not prohibited if you have high cholesterol

It is not forbidden to eat eggs if you have high cholesterol levels, said cardiologist, family doctor, and nutritionist Elena Anshina. She named the optimal number of eggs for people with this problem in her Telegram channel.

The doctor emphasized that eggs are a healthy product and urged people not to demonize them. According to her, the only thing that really matters is their quantity and the method of preparation. “For most people, one or two eggs a day is acceptable, just more protein. For example, you can make an omelette from one whole egg and one or two whites,” Anshina advised.

The cardiologist also noted that it is not eggs that pose a danger, but human eating habits. She explained that an omelet with vegetables does not pose any threat, but the abundance of sausages, sausages, fast food and baked goods with margarine in the diet is really harmful to health.
