Many nutrition experts have said that eggs are high nutritional value food.

There are also some recent studies pointing out that eating an egg per day can bring you “head to toe” healthiest benefits.

In particular, chicken egg is a nutritious food, used regularly by everyone and every family. They rich in vitamins A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Along with that are some other nutrients like calcium, manganese, iron, zinc and many amino acids needed for the immune system.

Egg yolk is good for your brain and the nervous system. Egg whites have an anti-aging effect, increasing strength and endurance for muscles. Lecithin in eggs works in the digestive tract, supports the activity of the liver and reduces the risk of artery blockage due to increased cholesterol.

How to eat eggs properly

Eat chicken eggs properly to maximize the effect on health.

Nutrients in chicken eggs have a great effect on the development of the body and the nervous system, protect the liver cells, improve the body’s metabolism and immunity while slowing down the aging process and prevent cancer.

In the processing of chicken eggs, boiling is considered the safest and brings the most effective nutrition, compared to the omelet or fried eggs.

The best way to boil an egg is to add them into the pot and boil over. When the water is boiling, let the heat low down and cook in 2 minutes. Then, turn off the oven, soak in cool water in about 5 minutes. As such, the eggs are soft boiled deliciously, egg yolks are not cook entirely but they will be a little bit melt down and run out when you cut the eggs in half. By this way, you can enjoy eggs more deliciously while all nutrients are easily absorbed to the body, do not interfere with the stomach and liver.

It is possible to add some salt to boiling water to keep the eggs from breaking while processing whereas easier to peel off after that.

If the eggs are overcooked, the surface of the yolks will appear a layer of blue-gray iron produced in chicken eggs, making the body is difficult to absorb. Protein contained in the egg under the high temperature will get tense a little bit, making them become harder and borer to eat while also very difficult to digest.

If you make the omelet, it is wise to choose a clean and safe egg. Put it in a hot oil pan, do not break the yolk, wait until the egg white begins to tense, cover with a lid and cook in medium heat in 3 to 4 minutes more. Before covering with the lid, it is also possible to add some water and steam the eggs for a few minutes, helping them to cool better without burning. As a result, the dish is more delicious while retaining the valuable nutrients in the egg yolks without fear of bacterial infection (Salmonella).

How much eggs are enough?

Normal people should eat 4 eggs a week.

Eggs were previously thought to be foods that raise cholesterol. Recent studies have shown that eating eggs is good for health. As mentioned above, they are rich in protein, vitamins A, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and Minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. Eggs are a great alternative if you do not like to eat meat.

Eggs also contain choline, a nutrient that promotes brain activities and improves memory. Therefore, pregnant women and the elderly should eat eggs. People who do not have appetite, or who have anorexia need to eat them as well, because this food will provide a large number of vitamins, minerals and proteins so that your body is not malnourished.

To eat eggs safely, people who don’t do gym or get standard physical health should only eat up to 4 eggs a week. Big and energetic people can eat 7 ones.
