Still many people are afraid to eat eggs for various reasons associated with health disorders. For example, eggs are considered to improve cholesterol levels.
The reason might be like this. Cholesterol content of egg yolk in a grain is about 213 mg. This is slightly below the recommended maximum daily intake, ie 300 mg. Therefore, egg yolk was branded as the culprit elevated levels of cholesterol for decades.
Fortunately, the year 2000, the American Heart Association issued new recommendations for heart-healthy diet with egg yolk intake to allow one item each day. What is important, keep the maximum cholesterol intake of 300 mg daily. According to scientists, who was instrumental in improving cholesterol levels is saturated fat intake, such as fatty meat, full-cream milk, vegetable oils and saturated fats.
Outside the cholesterol content issues, ways of processing their own eggs need to be considered. Good nutrition to eggs should not be damaged. Here are the instructions:
* For egg yolk grayish colorless and odorless, boil for 10 minutes. After that, put them in cold water. If you want soft-boiled eggs, boiled for 5 minutes, then put into cold water.
* Avoid eating raw eggs because of possible salmonella contamination. Salmonella contamination in eggs could occur through a variety of ways. One is contamination of feces containing the bacteria on egg shells. Eating eggs that have been contaminated with these bacteria can cause you diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, in the period 8-72 hours post-eating bacteria-contaminated eggs.
* To reduce the risk of elevated levels of cholesterol, consume eggs that the packaging is written contains Omega-3. Eggs of this type come from chickens fed a special diet, so the content of Omega-3 and vitamin E was more than the usual type of chicken eggs.
