Eggs

"Propaganda: Eating eggs leads to heart disease: throw out the yolks!

Reality: In reality, eggs are high in choline and B6, both of which are used to combat hardening of the arteries. Eggs are nutrient-dense and contain all the amino acids, a vast array of minerals and vitamins, and antioxidants.

Tips:
Good sources of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxamthin: eggs, broccoli, spinach.

Drinking plenty of water (five or more glasses a day) can protect the heart. Try replacing other drinks with pure, filtered or natural spring water flavored with a twist of lemon or lime.

To get the greatest benefit from eating eggs, purchase organic eggs from free-range chickens. They are higher in omega 3's, vitamins A, D, and E; and do not contain the potentially dangerous traces of antibiotics and pesticides that regular supermarket eggs do."
