Egg-cellent Breakfast Tip
Trying to whittle your waistline? You might want to rethink your morning meal. Recent research found that men and women who ate two eggs for breakfast as part of a low-calorie diet lost 65 percent more weight and had a 61 percent greater reduction in BMI than their counterparts who started the day with an equal-calorie bagel breakfast. Eggs, a high-quality protein, kept people more satisfi ed until their next meal, which helped them stick to and succeed on a reducedcalorie diet. Because the American Heart Association recommends keeping cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg per day (below 200 for those with heart disease and high LDL cholesterol), try scrambling an egg yolk (around 210 mg cholesterol) with two egg whites for a high-protein, cholesterol-conscious breakfast.

Watch What You Eat for Heart Health
Eating the typical Western diet can account for about 30 percent of heart attack risk across the world, a new report suggests, while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is tied a low risk of heart attack. Research published in the Oct. 21 issue of Circulation looked at dietary habits in 52 countries and found that people who ate a Western diet had a 35 percent greater risk of having a heart attack compared to those who ate little or no fried foods and meat. The Canadian researchers analyzed risk factors in food choices and the risk of heart attack in about 16,000 people in 52 countries. Almost 6,000 people had heart attacks, while the rest had no known heart disease.
