The advantages of eating eggs for breakfast

1, eggs are more resistant to hunger. Eggs are more hungry than bread, steamed bread and cereal. Among them, protein and fat can provide you with energy continuously and steadily, and make your stomach full for a longer time.

2. Eggs help to lose weight. Studies have proved that people who eat eggs for breakfast are more likely to lose weight than those who eat cakes.

3. Eggs are an excellent source of protein. The protein of eggs contains all essential amino acids, which is the most comprehensive protein.

4, eggs are cost-effective. Compared with other ingredients rich in protein (such as bacon and beef), even low-priced earth eggs are much more cost-effective.

An egg won't raise your cholesterol. Eggs do contain a certain amount of cholesterol, but there are also some ingredients in eggs that help lower cholesterol. As long as the number of eggs eaten every day is controlled at one, the risk of heart disease will not increase.

7. Eggs protect eyesight. Lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants in egg yolk, can help protect eyes from ultraviolet rays. They also help reduce the risk of senile cataracts.

Eggs are a kind of nutritious food. An egg weighs about 50 grams, contains 7 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat, and generates 82 kilocalories. The amino acid ratio of egg protein is very suitable for human physiological needs, easy to be absorbed by the body, with a utilization rate of over 98% and high nutritional value. Eggs are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins A and B, as well as various vitamins and trace elements necessary for human body. They are good supplements for children, the elderly, pregnant women, patients with hepatitis, tuberculosis and anemia, and patients in recovery after surgery.

Although eggs are good, we should pay attention to science in consumption. Some young people engaged in mental or light manual labor eat 5 ~ 6 eggs every day to increase nutrition; Some primary and middle school students eat 3 eggs for breakfast and 1 ~ 2 eggs for lunch and dinner every day. In some rural areas, pregnant women eat 10 ~ 15 capsules a day, but actually eat 300 ~ 450 capsules a month. They think: "eggs are nutritious, so eat more to supplement your body." In fact, eating too much will bring some bad effects to the body.

From the point of view of nutrition, in order to ensure a balanced diet, meet the needs of the body, and not be overnourished, under normal circumstances, it is better for the elderly to eat 1 ~ 2 capsules a day. For young and middle-aged people, it is more appropriate to eat 2 eggs a day if they are engaged in mental or light physical labor; People who engage in heavy physical labor and consume more nutrition can eat 2 ~ 3 eggs a day; Teenagers and children can take 2 ~ 3 capsules a day because of their long body and fast metabolism. Pregnant women, lying-in women, weak nursing mothers and patients recovering from major surgery can eat 3-4 eggs a day, but not more, because of the need to increase high-quality protein.
