Can I eat eggs if I have high blood lipids? Why?

Eggs are a common food in our lives. They are rich in nutrients and are good for the human body. Patients with high blood lipids can eat eggs, but it is recommended to eat one a day, and do not fry, stir-fry or deep-fry them.

The reason why people ask the question "Can people with high blood lipids eat eggs?" The main concern is that the cholesterol is too high. A normal adult needs about 300 mg of cholesterol per day, and egg yolks contain more cholesterol, with each yolk containing about 210 mg of cholesterol. The cholesterol needed by the human body every day is synthesized by the liver and obtained from food. If the human body absorbs more cholesterol from food, the cholesterol synthesized by the liver will be relatively reduced. Nutrition analysts believe that patients with hyperlipidemia can eat one egg every day. The eggs must be cooked and not eaten raw. When cracking the eggs, you must also be careful not to get contamination from bacteria on the eggshell. It is recommended to steam or boil them, and try not to eat fried or scrambled eggs.

1. [Brain-boosting and intelligence-enhancing]: The lecithin, triglycerides, cholesterol and yolk in egg yolk have a great effect on 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.

2. [Protect 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.

3. [Prevent and treat arteriosclerosis]: American nutritionists and medical workers used eggs to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis and achieved unexpectedly amazing results. They extracted lecithin from eggs, walnuts, and pig livers, 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.

4. [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.
