Eating hard-boiled eggs in the morning can have a positive or neutral effect on blood vessel health. This depends on your overall diet, health, and the amount of eggs you consume.
Here’s how hard-boiled eggs can promote cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health:
How Hard-Boiled Eggs Promote Cardiovascular Health
Rich in high-quality protein
Hard-boiled eggs are a complete source of protein, which helps maintain muscle mass—including heart muscle—and supports overall metabolism, which indirectly benefits the circulatory system.Packed with heart-healthy nutrients
Choline: Supports brain and nervous system health, but also regulates homocysteine, a compound linked to heart disease when elevated.
Vitamin D: essential for the functioning of the endothelium (lining of blood vessels) and the regulation of blood pressure.
Selenium and vitamin B12: Promote the production of red blood cells and blood circulation.
Feeling full and weight control
Eggs help you feel fuller longer, which can reduce snacking and help control weight—important for reducing the risk of high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and other cardiovascular problems.
