Is it possible to benefit more from eggs, which are our provider of high-quality protein, healthy fat, vitamins, and minerals in daily life? Here is the answer…
How should we cook eggs to better benefit from them, given their benefits to many points of the human body from the brain to the eye? Besler Catering dietitians have prepared this for you.
Do Not Consume Eggs Raw or Undercooked!
Contrary to popular belief, raw or undercooked eggs may contain certain bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Therefore, it is beneficial not to consume eggs in this way. Cooking the egg has the effect of facilitating the digestion of the protein and biotin within it.
Heat causes some structural transformations in egg proteins and makes them easily digestible. Considering the results of conducted research, it is observed that the human body can digest 90.9% of cooked eggs, whereas it can only digest 51.3% of raw eggs.
Besides being a protein store, the egg is also an important source of biotin, which fulfills important duties for our metabolism.
Avoid Cooking Eggs at High Heat for a Long Time
Cooking eggs at high heat for a long time can cause them to lose Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and antioxidant properties. Additionally, the cholesterol contained in eggs cooked at high heat oxidizes, and compounds known as oxysterols may occur. Oxidized cholesterol and oxysterols found in the blood are effective in increasing the risk of heart diseases.
Is It Possible to Increase the Power of the Egg?
1 medium-sized egg has a content of 1.4 mg of iron. Consuming eggs with foods providing Vitamin C such as parsley, dill, and tomatoes will increase the absorption of the iron contained in the egg. Also, eggs and cheese are an extremely good duo. The Vitamin D found in the egg yolk will increase the absorption of the calcium we get from the cheese.
Should Those with High Cholesterol Consume Eggs?
Cholesterol is essentially a structural molecule necessary for every cell membrane and has numerous important functions in the human body. Apart from this, high cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of heart diseases. Considering that a large egg contains 212 mg of cholesterol, it will be understood that this is a high amount compared to other foods.
People with high cholesterol levels may hesitate to consume eggs. However, studies reveal results indicating that eggs, far from negatively affecting cholesterol levels, can provide an increase in HDL, also known as good cholesterol among the public, which takes on a protective role for the heart.
Nevertheless, it is considered safe and necessary for people with high cholesterol levels to consume eggs at most 3-4 times a week, and for healthy individuals once a day.
