Lutein and zeaxanthin found in egg yolks are two extremely effective antioxidants that protect eyesight from harmful UV rays.

The protein in eggs helps restore damaged liver cells. The lecithin in egg yolks promotes the regeneration of liver cells, improving the body's metabolism and immunity.

American medical and nutrition experts have conducted a trial on the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis from chicken eggs.

They extracted lecithin from eggs and walnuts and fed it to people with heart disease, giving them 4-6 tablespoons every day. After about three months, the cholesterol in the patient's blood decreased significantly.

10. Prevent dementia in the elderly

Lecithin and yellow pigment in egg yolk are very beneficial for the development of the nervous system and body. It has the effect of enhancing aging function, improving memory and preventing dementia in old age.

How many eggs should I eat?

Experts say that because each person's body's nutrient absorption mechanism is different, the number of eggs each person can eat in a day is also different.

Normal people should only eat one egg a day.

Children, pregnant and lactating women, and people who exercise a lot, due to higher protein needs than normal people, can eat 1-2 eggs per day.

Normal adults and the elderly can eat 1 egg per day.

For patients with lipid disorders or obesity, they should only eat 2-4 eggs per week.

How to eat eggs to absorb the most nutrients?

For chicken eggs, the cooking methods are also very simple, such as boiling, stir-frying, frying, and braising.

Boiled eggs and egg soup are the easiest to digest, very suitable for children, the elderly and the sick.

For stir-fried eggs, you need to pay attention to the accompanying ingredients. The nutritional content in chicken eggs is lacking in vitamin C. Therefore, if you want the dish to be nutritious enough, we stir-fry eggs with tomatoes and green peppers to supplement this vitamin.

Boiled eggs are also a perfect choice. If you feel the dish is monotonous, you can use boiled eggs cut into pieces and put them in the salad.

You should not eat many fried eggs at high temperatures, because this way of cooking is not good for your health.
