Rarely do I order a room service breakfast while travelling. Admittedly, it is convenient to have breakfast delivered right to my hotel room and to have eaten (and brushed my teeth!) and be able to get on with my day without having to first search out a place to grab a quick morning meal. Sure, it's a great time-saver, especially if my travel is for business and my day is starting early. I just can't get past the prices typically charged for being able to eat a simple breakfast meal in my room. If the hotel I'm staying in offers room service, I do like to look at the menu, if for no other reason than to see what's being offered. Here's the breakfast menu from a recent hotel stay. Do you see in the middle of the menu above where it says "Egg Whites and Low Cholesterol Eggs are Available Upon Request"? Let's debunk some common misconceptions surrounding low-cholesterol eggs.

FAQ

Are eggs bad for your cholesterol?

For most of us, the cholesterol in the food we eat has very little, if anything, to do with the cholesterol in our body. We don't need to be afraid of cholesterol; cholesterol is essential to our body. What will raise blood cholesterol is our genetic make-up, and fat, particularly saturated and trans fats. Eggs contain just 5 grams of fat, of which only 1.5 grams are saturated fat and none is trans fat.

Can you eat eggs when watching your cholesterol?

For most people, eggs have little impact on blood cholesterol levels. As a result, eggs can be a good substitution for processed proteins high in trans fat. However, everyone is different. If you are looking to watch your cholesterol, please consult with your physician for guidance on what foods are best suited for you.

Is there a low-cholesterol way to prepare eggs?

Boiling or poaching your eggs is a great way to avoid cooking with butter or oil that have trans fat that can boost your blood cholesterol levels.

The same can be said for eating a smaller egg versus a large egg.

Coffee and the Liver

A British Liver Trust report (published June 2016) ‘Coffee and the liver – the potential health benefits’ confirms coffee is good for liver health. It is the first time that the entire body of current research and evidence has been reviewed and compiled into a single report.

The report provides evidence that:

Regularly drinking moderate amounts of coffee may prevent liver cancer – the World Health Organisation has recently confirmed this reduced risk after reviewing more than 1,000 studies in humans Coffee also lowers the risk of other liver conditions including fibrosis (scar tissue that builds up within the liver) and cirrhosis
