Hey Friends!!👩🏻‍⚕️👋🏼I'm Dr. Ashley Mayer, practicing family physician and mother of two awesome kiddos, age 13 and 5, formulator of the very best, purest supplements for your kiddos and family (link in bio 🙌🏼 ), and creator of the 💉 Strategy Guide (link in bio💥) ⁠ 🥚For decades, eggs have been unfairly demonized due to their cholesterol content negatively impacting heart health. ❓But did you know recent research has debunked this myth? 🍳Studies now show that dietary cholesterol from eggs is not directly linked to increased heart disease risk. 💪🏼 In fact, eggs are a nutrient-dense food that can be a valuable part of a heart-healthy diet. 🫀 🧩While regularly consuming eggs can contribute to heart health, they are just one piece of the heart-health puzzle. Here are some additional dietary tips to keep your heart in top shape: ✔️Follow a nutrient dense, whole foods based diet: Focus on foods that come from the earth, and consume them in a way that stays as close to its whole form as possible. ✔️Incorporate Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3s - found in cod-liver oil, fatty fish like salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts - are known to be supportive of heart health and a healthy inflammatory response. ✔️ Regularly consume CoQ10: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant that plays a role in energy production at the cellular level. It’s particularly impactful for heart health, as sufficient coQ10 intake is required for the maintained health of the heart muscle. ✔️ Don’t Forget B12: Vitamin B12 plays a role in keeping homocysteine levels in check. Homocysteine is a marker associated with heart disease risk. ✔️ Try Herbs and plants: Hawthorn and beetroot are two examples of plants that have traditionally been used to support heart health. ❌ Stay away from ultra-processed foods: Ultra-processed foods, which are often low in nutrients but high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and artificial additives, are a major contributor to chronic inflammation which has a negative impact on cholesterol levels. ☝🏼🔗Tap this post in my bio to learn more about the differences between LDL & HDL cholesterol, why cholesterol levels rise, and more!
