Many people believe that egg yolks are bad for their health, but this is just a myth, according to nutritionist Nmami Agarwal.

According to NDTV, there is an opinion that eating egg yolks leads to cardiovascular diseases because they contain cholesterol, the excess of which leads to atherosclerosis of the blood vessels.

According to the nutritionist, in fact, the positive qualities of yolks outweigh their disadvantages. In addition to cholesterol, they contain vitamins A, D, E, K, B9 and B12, as well as omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. Because of this, they reduce the risk of digestive disorders and vision problems.

The nutritionist recommends eating the yolks in poached eggs with avocado. She believes this nutritious and tasty dish can be a great start to the day or a healthy snack during the day.
