Healthy Fats for Your Brain and Heart
One of the biggest misconceptions about egg yolks is that they’re full of “bad” fats. In reality, most of the fat in the yolk is healthy unsaturated fat, which helps lower bad cholesterol and supports heart health. Egg yolks are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for brain function and reducing inflammation.
If you choose eggs from chickens fed a diet rich in omega-3s (like flaxseed), you’ll be getting even more of these healthy fats, making your eggs even more nutritious.
