Myth: Are eggs good or bad?
Chicken eggs have always been one of the healthiest foods. But people in the 21st century began to think about cholesterol and other things that they knew much less about before. And so chicken eggs were declared a product that should not be consumed daily. Let's see if chicken eggs are really so harmful, or are they rather useful? You can answer this question by weighing the pros and cons.
The main argument against eggs is cholesterol, which is found in egg yolk. Because of him, some supporters of a healthy lifestyle gave up eggs. At the same time, other scientists argue that eating 1 egg a day is normal, that in such an amount cholesterol is not capable of harming our body.
Opponents of chicken eggs also cite childhood allergies and salmonella in eggs. We know that children's allergies either go away at 5-7 years of age, or remain forever. It is clear that eating eggs in this case is not worth it. And from salmonella, chickens are vaccinated. In addition, there are preventive measures that exclude the possibility of contracting salmonella from a chicken egg. It is a rule not to eat raw and undercooked eggs, wash them well before cooking, do not cook eggs with cracked shells, wash your hands after eggs.
We have described the possible disadvantages of chicken eggs. Now let's talk about their benefits.
It is known that chicken eggs contain many useful components: proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
One egg contains 12% -14% of the daily value of protein, it also contains essential amino acids.
Among the vitamins contained in eggs are vitamins A, D, E, B3, B12, folic acid, choline. There are also minerals and trace elements - iodine, zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. And chicken eggs contain antioxidants such as selenium, as well as derivatives of vitamin A.
Summarize. Eating eggs will help get rid of cardiovascular diseases, and in women, reduce the risk of breast cancer. Substances that contain chicken eggs protect hair, nourish the skin, fight dandruff, wrinkles, strengthen our teeth and bones, and participate in the utilization of fats and cholesterol. Eating eggs also strengthens our vision. Among other things, eggs are nutritious and low in calories.
So it becomes clear that the actual cholesterol problem of eggs is not really a problem. In the egg of chickens there is more benefit than harm, after all, it was not for nothing that they came up with a fairy tale about the chicken Ryaba that laid the golden egg. Our ancestors have used the egg for food throughout history, appreciating and respecting this product.
