Doctors Warn: This Common Way of Eating Boiled Eggs Can Affect Your Heart Health
Boiled eggs are nutritious, high-protein, and packed with essential vitamins. But according to many health experts, it’s not the eggs themselves that pose a concern—it’s the way people commonly prepare or eat them that may contribute to poor heart health over time.
If you regularly enjoy boiled eggs, here’s what doctors say you should watch out for.
🥚 It’s Not the Egg—It’s What You Add to It
One of the most common habits people have is eating boiled eggs with large amounts of salt, butter, or mayonnaise. While these additions make eggs tastier, they can increase the risk of artery-clogging buildup when eaten frequently.
1. Too Much Salt
Many people heavily salt their boiled eggs without realizing how quickly sodium adds up.
High sodium intake is linked to:
Increased blood pressure
Higher strain on arteries
Elevated risk of heart disease
A small sprinkle is fine—over-salting is where problems begin.
🍳 2. Turning Boiled Eggs Into High-Fat Snacks
Another common habit is mixing boiled eggs with mayonnaise-based spreads, such as:
Egg salad
Deviled eggs
Heavy mayo-and-egg sandwiches
These spreads often contain large amounts of saturated fat, which can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
Over time, this can contribute to:
Plaque buildup
Hardened arteries
