There is blood in the boiled egg white

Everyone will prepare an egg for breakfast, but it depends on how you eat the egg. Some people choose to fry it in oil, but the calories will be higher. In order to maintain their figure and achieve health effects, people still choose to boil the egg in water. When eating the boiled egg, you will find blood in the egg white. What is going on?

Gao Yushi said that generally "blood spotted eggs" only have blood spots (blood clots) on the yolk, but in severe cases the egg white will also be stained red. Gao Yushi explained that "blood spotted eggs" are usually caused by slight bleeding in the hen's ovaries or fallopian tubes, causing blood to seep onto the yolk and finally be wrapped in the egg. If there are many blood spots, they will dissolve into the egg white, making the whole thing look red. Some low-producing young hens will produce "blood-spotted eggs", which rarely appear after they reach their peak egg-laying period. Of course, vitamin deficiency, disease or genetic factors can also cause hens to lay "blood-spotted eggs."

Gao Yushi said that although the nutritional value of "blood spotted eggs" is not affected, it is best not to eat them due to various reasons. Reporter Xiang Jiafu

Function

Brain health and intelligence

The lecithin, triglycerides, cholesterol and yolk in egg yolk play an important role in the nervous system and body development. After lecithin is digested by the human body, it releases cholecystokinin, which can improve memory in all age groups.

Protects the liver

The protein in eggs can repair liver tissue damage. The lecithin in egg yolk can promote the regeneration of liver cells. It can also increase the amount of plasma protein in the human body and enhance the body's metabolic and immune functions.

Prevent and treat arteriosclerosis

American nutritionists and medical workers used eggs to prevent and treat atherosclerosis and achieved unexpectedly amazing results. They extracted lecithin from eggs, walnuts, and pig liver, and gave 4-6 tablespoons of it to cardiovascular patients every day. After 3 months, the patient's serum cholesterol dropped significantly, achieving satisfactory results.

Prevent cancer

Eggs contain more vitamin B2, which can decompose and oxidize carcinogens in the human body. Trace elements in eggs, such as selenium and zinc, also have anti-cancer effects. Based on an analysis of human cancer mortality rates worldwide, it was found that cancer mortality was inversely proportional to selenium intake.

Delaying aging

Eggs contain almost all the nutrients the human body needs. One of the secrets of longevity for many centenarians is to eat an egg every day. Many health-preserving medicinal foods popular among the Chinese people cannot be separated from eggs. For example, Polygonum multiflorum boiled eggs, eggs boiled pig brain, egg porridge and so on. If eggs are processed into salted eggs, the calcium content will increase significantly, from 55 mg per 100 grams to 520 mg, which is about 10 times that of fresh eggs. It is especially suitable for people who want to supplement calcium.
