Children with colds and coughs can eat eggs!
Let's look at the scientific basis:
There are 50g eggs, of which protein content is 7-8g, fat content is about 6g, and the rest are water, inorganic salts, vitamins, egg yolk and a certain amount of microorganisms.
From the composition point of view, except for microorganisms, no component will have an impact on the human body, catching a cold and coughing. Microorganisms, when cooked, can be ignored.
Therefore, during the period of cold and fever, as long as you don't eat raw eggs, the ingredients in eggs alone will not have a negative impact on your body.
Hair in "hair" means induction and stimulation. Eating hair will make the disease worse.
This statement is based on some diseases, such as: seafood is hair, and people who are allergic to seafood eat "hair", which will aggravate the allergic situation. Another example: mutton is wool and belongs to heat. Eating mutton for wind-heat cold will aggravate internal heat cold.
But this view about eggs and colds doesn't make any sense at all:
1 The egg is flat, neither hot nor cold. In nature, they have no effect on colds and wind-heat colds.
There is no explanation in Chinese medicine that eggs can produce phlegm, so it will not affect cough.
Therefore, it is unfounded to say that eggs are hair, which will aggravate colds and coughs.
1 has a fever.
The main ingredients of eggs are water, protein and fat. The human body digests protein and produces far more calories than vegetables and fruits. When you have a fever, your body temperature is high, and eating eggs may cause "hotter" discomfort.
But this situation varies from person to person. I have a friend with me. Every time I have a cold and fever, I will ask my family to make a big bowl of egg soup, add some sesame oil and drink it while it is hot. He said: Just sweat.
2 indigestion.
Eating eggs is not recommended during a cold, fever or cough, or when the patient's own gastrointestinal function is weak. After all, protein is a bit difficult to digest compared with vegetables.
Protein in eggs is mainly egg protein and ovoglobulin. In fact, it is easier to digest and absorb than other animal proteins (such as beef and fish).
The doctor may say that "people with fever are not advised to eat eggs", but the result is "you can't eat eggs when you have a cold". Drinking is not recommended. No, there is a difference.
1 Don't eat eggs raw.
Studies show that eggs contain a certain amount of bacteria and avidin. The harm of bacteria is not mentioned for the time being.
Avidin can affect the absorption of vitamin H. Eating eggs raw for a long time can cause fatigue, weakness, skin inflammation, eyebrow loss, muscle pain and other symptoms.
Therefore, the rumor that "raw eggs can moisten the lungs" is self-defeating.
2 Adjust the intake of eggs
According to the China Nutrition Association, eggs are high-quality protein, and it is enough to keep the number of eggs per person per day 1 egg.
3 Reasonable cooking methods
There are many ways to boil eggs, such as boiling, steaming, frying, frying and washing eggs. Under various cooking methods, the digestibility of eggs is as follows: boiled eggs/steamed eggs 100%, tender eggs 98%, fried eggs 97%, boiled eggs 92.5%, cooked eggs 9 1. 1%, raw eggs 30% 50%, so boiled eggs.
Other methods should try to shorten the cooking time.
The following three methods are the "egg cough relieving" dietotherapy methods recommended by Chinese medicine. If a relative coughs at home, it can be used as an auxiliary attempt:
1 steamed eggs with white sugar
2 fried eggs with sesame oil
3 vinegar fried eggs
Finally, I recommend a therapeutic prescription for relieving cough, resolving phlegm and clearing lung. You can try to make it yourself: platycodon grandiflorum, licorice, mulberry leaves, lophatherum gracile, chrysanthemum, Siraitia grosvenorii, olive fruit, dark plum, gardenia, Polygonatum sibiricum, lily, Sydney and so on. , and boil it into soup, add honey to taste, and stir it into a paste with low fire. 2 spoonfuls each in the morning and evening, which can be dissolved or taken (if it is too troublesome, there are also finished products online).
