Mother, why are you eating hard-boiled eggs again, just after you had them this morning, and then at night?" Ms. Wang said to her mother as she came home from work.

While peeling eggs, the mother said to her daughter, "Eggs are the most nutritious, eat every day to good health."

"I can see the Internet said, egg cholesterol content is high, eat every day, liver eat bad." As she spoke, Ms. Wang stopped her mother and stopped her from eating.

In the evening, Ms. Wang opened the hot discussion on the Internet to show her mother, "the cholesterol content in eggs is too high, often eat boiled eggs, in fact, is hurting the liver." Netizens' opinions let the mother see some fear, is it really wrong to eat boiled eggs every day?

Do poached eggs increase the risk of liver disease? Often eat boiled egg, be after all "raise liver" still "INJURE liver"? With these questions in mind, is there any scientific basis for these claims? Is it right or wrong?

How important is the liver?

First of all, we need to understand the importance of the liver, which is the largest substantial organ in the body and has complex functions, including metabolism, synthesis, secretion and excretion. The metabolism and synthesis of protein, carbohydrate and fat, the three major nutrients needed by the human body, also require the participation of the liver.

As ONE OF THE MAIN ORGANS INSIDE the PERSON, THE deTOXification function OF the liver is also very powerful, when the liver function maintains normal, JUST CAN metabolize the waste toxin THAT PRODUCES INSIDE the BODY, thus ensure the health of the body.

Is the so-called "raising the liver is raising life", in daily life must do a good job of raising the liver and protecting the liver, maintain our liver, in order to protect our health.

Our living conditions are improving day by day, the variety of diet is more and more rich, but the incidence of liver disease is increasing, mostly because of poor eating habits, liver disease. A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE FOOD HIGH FAT, HIGH SUGAR FOOD, ALTHOUGH DELICIOUS AND DELICIOUS, MAKE BODY ADIPOSE EASILY HOWEVER OVERMUCH, CAUSE DEPOSITION AT LIVER AND FORM FATTY LIVER. Overeating will also increase the burden on the liver, easy to cause disease.

Diet plays a very important role in liver protection. Protein-rich foods can repair liver cells and are the liver's favorite.

What are the health benefits of eggs?

Eggs are the most common egg products in our daily life. They are rich in protein, which is good for liver health.

Nutrition circles CALL egg "WHOLE NUTRITION FOOD", CONTAIN RICH NUTRITION MATERIAL, AMINO ACID SERVES AS THE BASIC SOURCE OF NUTRITION MATERIAL, CAN SYNTHESIZE TISSUE PROTEIN INSIDE THE human BODY. Eggs contain two amino acids, tryptophan and tyrosine, which are highly antioxidant.

In addition, eggs are also rich in protein and lecithin and other substances, to improve memory, promote the growth of children has an important role. Proper supplementation of eggs can provide adequate nutrition for our bodies.

As the saying goes, "Eat a good breakfast." Breakfast provides about a third of our energy for the whole day, and eating protein-rich foods in moderation can keep us in good spirits.

Many people in the understanding of the importance of breakfast, will choose to eat a boiled egg in the morning to supplement nutrition, but some people are afraid of eggs in the cholesterol content is too high, eat every day will cause harm to the liver, in fact, the latter idea is not accurate.

Poached eggs have a light taste, do not need to add extra salt and oil, compared with other cooking methods, poached eggs can retain all the nutrients, very easy to digest and absorb. It also gives the body plenty of protein to boost immunity. At the same time, it can supplement trace elements such as zinc, selenium and iron to the human body, which has obvious effect on regulating the biochemical metabolism of the human body.

Cholesterol in eggs mainly exists in the yolk, the average egg cholesterol content is less than 1 gram, cholesterol as the human body essential material, helps to synthesize bile, vitamins and sex hormones.

At the same time, the human body has a regulatory function on cholesterol, the cholesterol content of food intake, the influence on the total cholesterol content of the human body is almost negligible. A boiled egg a day will allow the body to digest it well enough without taxing the liver.

There is no truth to the rumor that eggs can cause liver disease. Although LIVER HAS THE FUNCTION OF RECOMBINATION PROTEIN, but liver ALSO HAS THE state OF missing protein, EAT eggs rich in high quality protein correctly, can supplement enough protein for liver.

If you have liver disease, it is recommended to eat some high protein in your diet. Eggs can supply enough protein to maintain protein balance, which is conducive to liver repair in patients with liver disease. At the same time, yolk is rich in lecithin, vitellophosphoprotein and vitamins, which are helpful to promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells, and also enhance the metabolic function of liver disease patients.

Therefore, moderate consumption of eggs is of great benefit to the human body, it not only helps the normal function of the liver, but also can maintain liver function.

There are three things to remember when eating poached eggs

Although poached eggs have many good effects on our bodies, we should be careful to eat them properly, so that poached eggs will do us more good.

First of all, pay attention to the amount of food. For general adults, eating 1 boiled egg a day can meet the needs of the human body for protein. For children, pregnant women and people who exercise a lot, you can eat 1-2 boiled eggs. Moderate eating can increase nutrition, but eating too many boiled eggs may not only increase the cholesterol content in the body, but also indirectly increase the risk of obesity, hyperlipidemia and other diseases.

If it is more serious liver disease patients, cholesterol food needs to be strictly controlled intake.

Secondly, do not eat raw eggs, immature eggs contain E. coli more, such as not cooked to eat, easy to cause diarrhea. The anti-biotin protein contained in raw eggs will affect the intake of biotin from food, so that people have fatigue, loss of appetite and other "biotin deficiency disease". Raw eggs contain antitrypsin, can inhibit the activity of protease, thereby affecting the digestion and absorption of protein.

Furthermore, boiled eggs must be rinsed repeatedly before, when we buy eggs, will find that the egg surface there are a lot of dirty things, if not clean before cooking, hot water may cause the eggs break, when the surface of the stain will enter the inside of the egg liquid, stain bacteria and viruses if you are eating, it is easy to affect our health.

In addition, the important thing to note when rinsing eggs is that if you don't cook them after washing, don't put them in the refrigerator after washing.

Carefully observe the surface of the egg shell, we can see there are many holes, these holes are covered with a layer of thin film, the film is in order to protect the eggs against bacteria, the protective film on the egg and damaged after washing, and then put them into the refrigerator, outside bacteria can into the eggs from the small hole, it is very easy to spoil the eggs.

There are many different kinds of eggs on the market, we need to pay attention to the following three conditions when choosing eggs.

Don't buy eggs that have been left for too long. One reason is that eggs that have been left for too long may lose nutrients. Second, the eggs may have gone bad; Third, eggs left too long have an increased risk of infection with pathogenic microorganisms. Overall consideration, when we choose and buy eggs, do not buy eggs for too long because of cheap storage.

No hairy eggs either! The EMBRYO OF EGG STOPS DEVELOPMENT IN HATCHING PROCESS, THIS KIND OF EGG IS CALLED WOOL EGG, WOOL EGG IS LONGER BECAUSE OF HATching TIME, GREAT MAJORITY OF nutrition was consumed IN DEVELOPING process already, CANNOT PROVIDE NUTRITION MATERIAL TO HUMAN BODY BASICALLY SO.

In ADDITION, according TO HEALTH department TO DISCOVER IN THE ASSAY OF WOOL egg, a large number of bacteria are contained in wool egg, such as Escherichia coli, staphylococcus, the person is easy to cause allergy, poisoning and other phenomena after eating. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not buy raw eggs.

Many people in the purchase of eggs, have heard "stupid eggs although expensive, but the nutritional value can be high" this statement, stupid eggs are also known as soil eggs, grass eggs, free range chicken eggs, the price is much more expensive than ordinary eggs.

However, many scientific experiments have shown that the nutritional content of stupid eggs is similar to that of ordinary eggs. Although the content of iron and fat is higher than that of ordinary eggs, but the content of calcium and protein is less than that of ordinary eggs. Therefore, when we buy eggs, there is no need to blindly worship the stupid eggs. The ordinary eggs are enough to meet our daily needs of egg nutrition.

The last

Eggs are one of the most common foods in our life. According to the guidelines set by the Chinese Nutrition Society, adults should consume at least 25g of eggs every day. Eating eggs in moderation is not only good for the development of the nervous system, but also for improving cognitive abilities, reflexes and memory.

The normal consumption of eggs does not carry the risk of liver disease, some of the rumors about boiled eggs, we need to learn to distinguish. Don't let rumors get in the way and miss out on a good opportunity to get your protein. Eggs are good and inexpensive nutrition in daily life, learn to eat correctly, in order to play its nutritional effect to the best state.
