Eggs are a very common food, which is found in almost every family's kitchen. People usually use it as breakfast, which can not only enhance satiety, but also supplement a variety of nutrients.

Eggs are nutritious foods, which contain almost all the nutrients needed by the human body. They are called "ideal nutrition banks" and are rich in protein, vitamins and various trace elements. Eating 1 ~ 2 eggs a day can bring many benefits to the body.

Although eggs are good, they are not eaten casually, and there are some taboos when eating eggs. I wonder how much you know.

Let's learn about the benefits of eating eggs first.

Increase satiety

Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which can increase satiety after meals, delay the emptying speed of the stomach, and relatively control the food intake of the next meal, which has a certain effect on weight control.

Prevention of osteoporosis

Vitamin A in eggs can promote bone development, and vitamin B2 in vitamin B can also promote bone strength. Eggs can provide us with such nutrition, and enough calcium can effectively promote bone development, so eating an egg every morning can help promote bone development and prevent osteoporosis.

Protect eyesight

Egg yolk contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which is very valuable for our vision. Regular supplementation can protect our eyes from ultraviolet rays, especially in summer, when the sun is very strong. Eating more eggs is good for our eyes.

Protect the liver

Eating more eggs can also protect the liver, because eggs contain less protein, which can help repair some liver tissues, and a substance in eggs can help promote the regeneration of liver cells.

Improve memory

Egg yolk contains a lot of lecithin. Lecithin is a very important element in the body. It can help the body release choline and improve people's memory. Therefore, people who often use their brains can eat an egg every morning.

People who eat eggs for a long time should still pay attention to five "taboos". For the health of their families, it is recommended to know about it.

1. Don't eat eggs overnight.

In order to eat eggs directly the next morning, many people cook eggs the day before and eat them directly the next morning, while overnight eggs are advised not to eat, especially those with bad stomach.

Because the protein in overnight eggs is particularly high, germs will multiply rapidly under this natural condition. If people with bad stomachs eat this kind of eggs, it will easily lead to diarrhea. Therefore, for the health of their families, it is best to cook eggs now in the morning.

2. Don't eat with milk

I believe everyone has the habit of drinking milk when eating eggs. These two foods help to provide some health care for the body, but they are not recommended to be used together.

This is mainly because milk is rich in cholesterol and fatty substances, and eggs also contain cholesterol, fat and protein. If milk and eggs are eaten together, it will increase the digestive burden of the stomach.

It is suggested that people who like to eat eggs should drink milk one hour after meals, which will help the stomach to provide digestion time without worrying about some health effects.

You can't eat undercooked eggs.

Some people like to eat preserved eggs, that is, undercooked chicken, and think it is more nutritious. In fact, there is no difference in nutrients between undercooked eggs and cooked eggs, and eggs are easily contaminated by salmonella. It is very undesirable to treat uncooked eggs as complementary food for babies, which may easily lead to gastroenteritis, typhoid fever, septicemia and other diseases.

4. Don't throw away the yolk.

Many people only eat egg white, but don't want to eat egg yolk, because they always feel that egg yolk tastes bad and has high cholesterol.

But in fact, the overall nutritional value of egg yolk is much higher than that of egg white. Therefore, when we eat eggs, it is best not to throw away the yolk, but to eat the yolk and egg white together, which is more conducive to protein's absorption.

5. Don't eat too much

Although eating eggs is good for your health, you must remind everyone not to eat too many eggs a day, because eating too many eggs will affect the normal work of the digestive system. It is suggested to eat one or two eggs a day, which can relieve hunger and not affect digestion.

For different people, how many eggs can you eat at most a day?

1. Patients with hypertension can eat eggs, but they should pay attention to eating less. It is best not to consume more than three egg yolks per week;

2. For the elderly and those with mild physical strength, just eat an egg every day;

3. Children and people with high physical strength can add another egg every day;

4. Pregnant women, patients in the recovery period after lactation or major surgery can eat 3 to 4 eggs a day;

5. The number of eggs eaten by obese people and patients with high cholesterol should be controlled within 3 per week.

I believe everyone recognizes the nutritional value of eggs, but there are also some precautions and taboos in the process of eating. Remember it next time you eat eggs.
