There are two sources of cholesterol in the human body: one is produced by the liver itself, accounting for about 70% of the total cholesterol, and the other is ingested cholesterol, called exogenous cholesterol, accounting for about 20%-30% of the total. When the intake of exogenous cholesterol is too high, the body will reduce the amount of cholesterol produced in the body accordingly, thus achieving a dynamic balance. The occurrence of diseases is mainly caused by dysfunction. The reason for the increase of blood cholesterol content is not only because of eating an egg every day, but also because of the imbalance of cholesterol metabolism in the body.
People with hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol can also eat eggs, but considering the risk factors, it is generally recommended to eat boiled eggs once every other day, which is equivalent to eating half an egg a day. Patients with high cholesterol should avoid eating pig brain, crab roe, fish, squid, shrimp head, fat meat, animal viscera and other foods, because the cholesterol content in pig brain of the same size is about several times that of eggs. Usually eat more vegetables, fruits and miscellaneous grains that lower cholesterol.
Not everyone is in the same physical condition. How high your cholesterol is and how many eggs you can eat depends on your health. It is best to consult a professional medical staff, so as not to blindly eat or refuse certain foods. Only by finding out the real cause can we treat it in time and play its due role. Of course, the best state is to pay attention to diet, strengthen exercise and keep a happy mood.
