Five misunderstood foods may boost heart health

dailymail.co.uk

Dr. Evan Levine, a cardiologist, has identified five foods previously thought to be unhealthy that may actually benefit heart health. These include eggs, shrimp, pork, avocados, and coffee, which have been mischaracterized due to outdated research. Eggs, once blamed for raising cholesterol, have minimal impact on blood cholesterol levels. Shrimp and pork are healthy protein options, while avocados provide beneficial unsaturated fats. Coffee, despite concerns about blood pressure, shows no significant long-term risk. Recent research emphasizes the importance of dietary fats over cholesterol intake. This shift in understanding suggests that saturated and trans fats are more harmful than previously thought, leading to a reevaluation of these foods in heart-healthy diets.
