However, for children and the elderly, or steamed egg custard, egg soup is the most suitable, because these two practices can make the protein loose, very easy to be digested and absorbed.

Eating eggs on the rise in blood lipids?

People used to think that eggs are good for nutrition, but the yolk contains more cholesterol, often eat eggs will cause increased blood lipids, contributing to the occurrence of atherosclerosis, it is advocated that the elderly to eat less or not eat eggs. But in recent years, studies have shown that eating eggs not only does not cause elevated blood lipids, but also can lower cholesterol, prevent atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and stroke and other diseases.

The content of cholesterol in egg yolk is indeed very high, an egg weighing about 50 grams, the yolk is 15 grams, which contains about 280 milligrams of cholesterol. But if you eat 1-2 eggs a day, the intestinal absorption of cholesterol is very limited, because cereals, beans, vegetables and fruits and other foods also inhibit the intestinal absorption of cholesterol. Under normal circumstances, the human liver also synthesizes cholesterol. When the amount of cholesterol absorbed from the intestines increases, the amount of cholesterol synthesized in the liver decreases, thus maintaining the relative balance of cholesterol in the blood.

Egg yolk is rich in lecithin, which is a strong emulsifier, when it is absorbed into the bloodstream, it can make the cholesterol particles become smaller and remain suspended. This not only facilitates the utilization of cholesterol by the tissues through the blood vessel wall, but also avoids the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessel wall, thus helping to reduce cholesterol. Therefore, nutritionists recommend that the elderly can eat 1 egg a day.
