Eat 1 egg every day, will your cholesterol exceed the standard? It is these kinds of food that really need to eat less.

We have formed the habit of eating an egg for breakfast every day since childhood. Eggs are rich in vitamins A, D, E, B2, B 12, choline, lecithin and other nutrients needed by human body.

But after middle age and old age, many people are afraid to eat eggs, especially yolk. Most of these people have "rich diseases" such as hyperlipidemia and fatty liver. When they were young, they ate too much meat. In middle-aged and elderly people, I am afraid that the cholesterol content in egg yolk is too high, so I simply don't eat eggs.

It is true that nutritionists recommend that the cholesterol intake should not exceed 300 mg per day, and there are about 200 mg of cholesterol in an egg. Simply understand this, most people are afraid to eat eggs again, or only once every few days.

In fact, everyone has a misunderstanding about eggs. In addition to getting cholesterol from food, the liver itself will also synthesize cholesterol! Adults synthesize about 1000 mg of cholesterol every day, which is equivalent to the content of five eggs. Eating one less egg won't make any difference.

For young people with normal liver function and blood lipids, eating one or two more eggs a day will not have any bad effects on body metabolism. In particular, eggs themselves are very healthy foods, especially egg yolk, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K and most B vitamins, most of which exist in egg yolk, so don't waste them.

In fact, compared with the cholesterol contained in eggs, some home-cooked dishes in life have higher cholesterol content and more serious negative effects on the body. Let me talk to you: it is these kinds of food that really need to eat less.

1, eat less of this food: trotters.

No matter men, women and children, many people like to eat pig's trotters, stew pig's trotters and roast pig's trotters, but the cholesterol and fat content of pig's trotters are not low. Every 100g trotters contain cholesterol 192mg and fat18.8g..

It seems that the cholesterol content of trotters is not as high as that of eggs, but an ordinary trotters is about half a catty, and the total cholesterol intake is about 500 mg. Moreover, pig's trotters are not as rich in nutrition as eggs, and there is not much benefit except satisfying appetite.

2. Eat less of this food in the future: animal offal.

Pig intestines, liver and lungs are all common raw materials for cooking, but the cholesterol content of these foods is generally around 150 ~ 300mg.

However, pig liver contains high iron, which is a good choice for anemia patients to supplement iron. You can eat some according to your own situation.

Finally, I want to tell you that besides eating an egg every day, you can also eat a proper amount of nuts, which is helpful for people with hyperlipidemia to prevent coronary heart disease.
