The claim about the medical and health care functions of eggs

In recent years, nutritionists and medical experts at home and abroad have made new evaluations on the nutritional value and health benefits of eggs. In summary, there are mainly five aspects. The first is to enhance brain function and intelligence. The lecithin, triglycerides, cholesterol and ovoflavin in egg yolks. It has a significant effect on the nervous system and physical development. After being digested by the human body, lecithin can release choline, which will travel through the bloodstream to the brain. This can prevent the intellectual decline of the elderly and improve the memory of all age groups. Therefore, whether it is teenagers or middle-aged and elderly people, to maintain a good memory, it is only necessary to eat one or two eggs every day. The second is to protect the liver. The protein in eggs has a repairing effect on liver tissue damage. Lecithin in egg yolks can promote the regeneration of liver cells. It can also increase the amount of plasma protein in the human body, enhance the metabolic function and immune function of the body. The third is to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis. American nutritionists and medical workers have used eggs to prevent and treat atherosclerosis and achieved unexpected and astonishing results. They extracted lecithin from eggs, walnuts and pork liver and gave 4 to 6 tablespoons to patients with cardiovascular diseases every day. Three months later, the patient's serum cholesterol level dropped from 1,000 milligrams to 180 milligrams. This research achievement has drawn the attention of the global medical community. This method has been successively applied in clinical practice in various countries and all have achieved satisfactory results. The fourth is to prevent cancer. Eggs contain a relatively high amount of vitamin B2, which can break down and oxidize carcinogens in the human body. The trace elements in eggs, such as selenium and zinc, also have anti-cancer effects. Based on the analysis of cancer mortality rates among humans worldwide, it has been found that the mortality rate of cancer is inversely proportional to the intake of selenium. In areas where residents have a higher selenium content in their blood or consume foods rich in selenium, the overall cancer mortality rate is lower than that in places where residents consume less selenium. The fifth is to delay aging. Eggs contain almost all the nutrients the human body needs, so they are called "the ideal nutrient bank" by people. Nutritionists call this the "complete protein model". One of the experiences of many long-lived elderly people to prolong their lives is to eat an egg every day. Many health-preserving medicinal diets passed down among the people in our country also cannot do without eggs. For instance, boiled eggs with Polygonum multiflorum, boiled pig brain with eggs, egg porridge, etc. Eggs are an ideal natural food for human beings, but one should also pay attention to scientific ways of eating them. For the elderly, it is better to eat eggs by boiling, lying down, steaming or beating them. Because frying, stir-frying and deep-frying are delicious. But it is rather difficult to digest. If eggs are processed into salted eggs, their calcium content will increase significantly, from 55 milligrams per 100 grams to 512 milligrams, which is about ten times that of fresh eggs. They are particularly suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with osteoporosis to consume.
