Oman today_ If you enjoy eating eggs but also worry about your heart health, it’s helpful to know how much is considered safe. One large egg typically contains around 70 calories and about 180 milligrams of cholesterol, and it’s also a solid source of protein.
Recent research published in a well-known British medical journal suggests that eating two boiled eggs a day can raise the level of a compound called trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the body. Higher levels of this compound have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and heart attacks.
Because of this, most health experts recommend limiting egg consumption to one per day. People with high cholesterol, or those who are at risk of diabetes or heart conditions, should be especially mindful about eating egg yolks and other foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
