Will you raise your cholesterol if you eat eggs?

Eggs are not only economical, but also one of the best sources of human nutrition. Eggs contain a lot of vitamins and minerals and proteins with extremely high biological value. For humans, eggs have the best protein quality, second only to breast milk. However, some people think that the egg yolk is high in cholesterol and is afraid of raising cholesterol, so even the eggs are not eaten. So, will eating eggs raise cholesterol? Who can't eat eggs?

Does eating eggs raise cholesterol?

I often hear people say that the daily intake of cholesterol should not exceed 300 mg, while an egg contains about 200 mg of cholesterol. For the sake of controlling blood cholesterol, people with high blood cholesterol should not eat eggs. But is this really the case?

There are two main sources of cholesterol in the human body. One is endogenous: 70% of cholesterol is synthesized by the liver; the other is exogenous: 30% comes from the diet. If a person consumes more cholesterol, the cholesterol produced by the liver will automatically decrease; if you eat less, the exogenous cholesterol is almost zero, and the liver will desperately produce cholesterol. Therefore, blood cholesterol levels are more related to factors such as the amount of fat intake and the level of physical activity, but not to the total amount of cholesterol consumed daily. In other words, eating foods high in cholesterol, such as eggs, is no problem.

Who can't eat eggs?

1, hepatitis patients

Studies have found that patients who eat a light diet recover more quickly than those who eat a high-protein diet. This is because in the acute phase of chronic hepatitis, liver function is destroyed and the liver cannot handle and metabolize a high protein diet. Just like a machine failure, it will be more powerful when it has not been repaired, and it will only be more likely to cause damage. So try not to eat eggs!

2, physical allergies

Some patients with allergies in this body are prone to protein allergic urticaria due to a large number of protein-containing foods, such as meat, milk, eggs, etc., which may cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and skin rash. Therefore, such patients should avoid taking a large amount of foods rich in protein.

3, people with fever

Many people think that eating eggs when they are sick is not only light and easy to digest, but also nutritious, which is good for restoring health, but this is unscientific. A patient with a fever who eats eggs will increase the heat in the body. Because the heat cannot be dissipated, it will burn even more like "fueling on the fire." The nutrition of eggs is indeed rich, but it is not suitable to eat more during the fever, especially fried poached eggs or scrambled eggs.

4, diarrhea

The diarrhea is due to the decrease of the secretion of digestive juice in the body, the decrease of the activity of digestive enzymes, the disorder of metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates in the body, the hyperactivity of the intestines and the assimilation of the intrinsic food, and the reabsorption of water and nutrients by the small intestine. A large amount of nutrients are excreted through the digestive tract. Eating eggs during this period will not only help to nourish the body, but will further lead to aggravation of the disease. So don't eat eggs during diarrhea.

5, kidney disease patients

In patients with nephritis, renal function and metabolism are reduced, urine output is reduced, and metabolites in the body cannot be completely excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, protein intake should be reduced to reduce the burden on the kidneys. If kidney disease patients ingest too much protein, wastes such as urea nitrogen after protein metabolism cannot be completely excreted. Excessive accumulation of urea nitrogen in the blood can cause symptoms such as burnout, dizziness, weakness, nausea, anorexia, lethargy, anemia, and itching.

6, primipara

Eggs are one of the staple foods of a woman's confinement, but it is best not to eat eggs within a few hours after giving birth. Because the physical exertion during childbirth is large, sweating is more, the body fluid is insufficient, and the digestive capacity is also reduced. At this time, eating eggs will be difficult to digest and absorb, which will increase the burden on the stomach. The mother can eat up to 3 eggs a day.
