1. Lecithin, triglyceride, cholesterol and yolk protein in egg yolk have great effects on the development of nervous system and body, which can avoid the mental decline of the elderly and improve the memory of all ages.
2. Protect the liver. Protein in eggs can repair liver tissue damage. Lecithin in egg yolk can promote the regeneration of liver cells, increase the amount of human plasma protein, and enhance human metabolism and immune function.
3. Prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis. American nutritionists and medical workers used eggs to prevent and treat atherosclerosis and achieved unexpected and amazing results.
4. Prevent cancer. Eggs contain more vitamin B2, which can decompose and oxidize carcinogens in human body. Trace elements in eggs, such as selenium and zinc, also have anti-cancer effects.
5. delay aging. Eggs contain almost all the nutrients needed by the human body, so they are called "ideal nutrition banks". Nutritionists call it the "complete protein model", which is one of many people's longevity experiences.
Eat eggs wisely
The most nutritious cooking method:
There are many ways to eat eggs. In terms of nutrient absorption and digestibility, boiled eggs are 100%, scrambled eggs are 97%, tender fried eggs are 98%, old fried eggs are 8 1. 1%, boiled eggs with boiled water and milk are 92.5%, and raw eggs are 30% ~ 50%. From this point of view, boiled eggs are the best way to eat, but pay attention to chewing slowly, otherwise it will affect absorption and digestion. But for children, steamed egg soup and egg drop soup are the most suitable, because these two methods can release protein, which can be easily digested and absorbed by children.
Nutritionists believe that eggs should be boiled in boiling water for 5-7 minutes. When fried eggs are over-aged, the edges will burn, and the high molecular weight protein contained in egg white will become low molecular weight amino acids, which can often form toxic chemicals at high temperature.
Note: eat less tea eggs, because tea contains acidified substances, which combine with iron in eggs, stimulate the stomach and affect the digestive function of gastrointestinal tract.
How much do you eat a day?
Eggs are high-protein foods. If you eat too much, it will lead to an increase in metabolites and increase the burden on the kidneys. Generally speaking, there is one for children and the elderly, and two for teenagers and adults.
Is egg white better or egg yolk better?
The correct way to eat is to eat the whole egg. Protein contains more protein, while other nutrients are egg yolk.
Egg misunderstanding ABC
Myth 1: The more eggs a woman eats, the better.
In the process of delivery, the maternal physical exertion is great, the digestion and absorption function is weakened, and the detoxification function of the liver is reduced. After eating in large quantities, the burden of liver and kidney will increase, resulting in adverse consequences. Excessive intake of protein will also produce a lot of ammonia, hydroxyl, phenol and other chemicals in the intestine, which is very toxic to human body, prone to abdominal distension, dizziness, limb weakness, coma and other symptoms, leading to "protein poisoning syndrome".
Protein's intake should be calculated according to protein's digestion and absorption function. Under normal circumstances, it is enough for pregnant women to eat about 3 eggs a day. Myth 2: Eating eggs often leads to high cholesterol.
No, because egg yolk is rich in lecithin, which is a powerful emulsifier. It can make cholesterol and fat particles extremely fine and pass through the blood vessel wall and be fully utilized by cells, thus reducing cholesterol in the blood. Moreover, lecithin in egg yolk can release choline after digestion, and then enter the blood to synthesize acetylcholine, which is the main substance of neurotransmitter, which can improve brain function and enhance memory.
In fact, everyone needs cholesterol. Only by taking too much cholesterol every day to form hypercholesterolemia will it harm your health. In fact, "moderate intake" is the key. Any nutrient, as long as you eat too much, will do you harm; Insufficient intake will also do harm to you.
Myth 3: Raw eggs are more nutritious.
Eating eggs raw is not only unsanitary, but also easy to cause bacterial infection, and there is no nutrition. Raw eggs contain avidin, which affects the absorption of biotin in food and leads to "biotin deficiency" such as loss of appetite, general weakness and muscle pain. In addition, raw eggs contain "antitrypsin", which will destroy the digestive function of human body. As for those "hairy eggs" that have hatched but have not hatched chickens, it is even more unsanitary.
