What is the health function of eggs?
Eggs are called "the ideal nutrition bank for human beings". Nutritionists call it the "complete protein model".

According to the analysis, every100g of eggs contains14.7g of protein, mainly ovalbumin and ovoglobulin, and the absorption rate of protein in eggs can be as high as 98%. Every 100g egg contains fat 1 1 ~ 15g, and the fat is mainly concentrated in the yolk, which is easily digested and absorbed by human body. Lecithin in egg yolk is of great benefit to improve the function of nervous system. Therefore, eggs are a good brain food.

Eggs contain more cholesterol, which can be as high as 100 mg per100 g. So many people, especially the elderly, are wary of eating eggs, fearing that eating eggs will lead to an increase in cholesterol. In fact, although eggs contain more cholesterol, they are also rich in lecithin. Lecithin enters the blood. It can make cholesterol and fat particles smaller and remain suspended, thus preventing cholesterol and fat from depositing on the blood vessel wall. Therefore. Scientists believe that for the elderly with normal cholesterol, it is appropriate to eat 1 ~ 2 eggs a day, which is not only beneficial to digestion and absorption, but also meets the needs of the body.

Eggs are an ideal natural food for human beings, and we should also pay attention to science in eating. For the elderly, it is better to boil and steam eggs, because frying, frying and frying are delicious, but they are difficult to digest. If eggs are processed into salted eggs, their calcium content will increase obviously, from 55 mg per 100g to 5 12 mg, which is about10 times that of fresh eggs. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with osteoporosis. Also need to be reminded, never eat raw eggs. Some people think that eating raw eggs is nutritious, which is unscientific.
