Eggs are healthy food, rich in protein, but is it good to eat eggs regularly?

According to Dr. Nguyen Trong Hung - National Institute of Nutrition, eggs are healthy food, rich in protein and contain many essential amino acids. Eggs also contain a lot of lecithin - a good fat that can regulate cholesterol levels in the blood. Therefore, healthy people without diseases can eat up to 1 egg per day.

Egg whites are fat-free and rich in healthy minerals such as niacin, potassium, riboflavin, and magnesium. Egg yolks contain less protein than egg whites, but contain most of the vitamins A, B6, B12, and D, calcium, folate, and omega-3, providing cholesterol and essential fatty acids. Therefore, egg yolks are considered more nutritious.

Not all eggs are created equal. The nutritional value of an egg depends on the size of the egg. When you cook an egg, add oil, butter, or eat it with bacon, sausage, or cheese, the calorie content of the egg increases significantly.

For those who want to lose weight, eating eggs for breakfast will help you feel fuller than other foods, but you still need to add 1-2 slices of bread, green vegetables and fruit to ensure enough calories and not feel hungry.

Children can eat 1 egg per day, providing abundant choline, supporting the development of the child's brain and cognition.

Many people believe that the high cholesterol content in eggs is harmful to health, especially for people with fatty liver, increasing blood cholesterol levels. On average, people with fatty liver disease should only eat 2-3 eggs per week, and should eat boiled eggs instead of fried or fried eggs.

If you have problems with fatty liver and high liver enzymes, especially those with moderate and severe disease, it is best to replace eggs with healthier protein sources./.
