Meat, Fish, and Eggs
In the case of diseases of the cardiovascular system, it is recommended to eat foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, most of which are found in fish. Omega-3 fatty acids increase HDL cholesterol and lower lipoprotein concentrations, improve endothelial function, and arterial elasticity. Meat can be completely replaced with fish or eaten every other day, however, avoid salted fish, salted herring, and canned food. Lard is prohibited due to its high content of saturated fatty acids, which is a risk factor for heart disease. It is not recommended to use salted meat, sausages, and canned food.
Moderate consumption of eggs — up to one egg per day — on the contrary, does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, since they simultaneously contain antioxidants, vitamins B12, vitamin D, riboflavin, and folate. Eggs are a part of a healthy diet.
