Health consultant: Have two egg whites and one yolk for breakfast.

We know that in the three meals of a day, breakfast should be eaten well, and most people also think it should be eaten less. In fact, this view is somewhat biased. The health consultant of 120 Health Website (http://www.120.net/jiankangguwen/) pointed out that for those who have a large amount of activity in the morning, breakfast does not need to be deliberately reduced, and it must meet the energy needs of the morning.

Egg white protein and egg globulin contain various amino acids essential for the human body, and are extremely similar to the composition of human proteins. The absorption rate of egg protein by the human body can reach as high as 98%. Every 100 grams of eggs contain 11-15 grams of fat, which is mainly concentrated in the yolk and is also very easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Egg yolk contains abundant lecithin, sterols, lutein, as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, and B vitamins. These components greatly benefit the enhancement of nervous system functions; therefore, eggs are also a good brain-nourishing food.

However, due to the relatively high content of cholesterol in egg yolks, many people, especially the elderly, are cautious about eating eggs, fearing that eating eggs will cause an increase in cholesterol leading to atherosclerosis. The health consultant stated that in recent years, scientists have found that although eggs contain relatively high levels of cholesterol, they also contain rich lecithin. After lecithin enters the blood, it makes the particles of cholesterol and fat smaller and keeps them in suspension, thus preventing the deposition of cholesterol and fat on the walls of blood vessels.

For the elderly, eggs are generally difficult to digest. Therefore, 120 Health Website (http://www.120.net/) suggests that eggs should be thoroughly cooked, and it's best to cook them until the yolk just becomes solid, which makes them easier to digest and absorb.
