Who is the health line Or have friends who are taking care of health Especially those who are losing weight May have seen the egg yolk removed from the egg whites. If asked, he may reply that "Egg yolk, high cholesterol, fat" or something like this
But actually the yolk is not good for health Even though he really had to knock out or understand.
Why are we banned? Do not eat yolks?
The main reason is from the old research that states that cholesterol is one of the causes of cardiovascular disease, making the general public understand that Eating lots of fat Causing clogging of blood vessels Until leading to heart disease And finally blood vessels In fact, it is not a big reason because there are many other factors that cause this disease. Both smoking Eating fatty foods Or saturated fat on a regular basis Genes that increase the risk of heart disease And not exercising etc.
For this reason, the Heart Association in America began recommending that we consume no more than 300 mg of cholesterol per day or 1 egg yolk (220 mg).
But over time New research More about this Volunteers who tried by eating egg yolks Then measure blood cholesterol It turns out that egg yolk does not affect blood cholesterol levels of volunteers. Or very little Until the latter began to have more research like this
In the end, it began to cut out the recommendations on the amount of cholesterol that should be taken per day. By having to eat like food all over, because there is no data, cannot find evidence that can say that eating cholesterol affects heart disease Or cause more death rates in any way.
How much cholesterol do we eat?
Will think like this, it is not right again Because it is not that we can eat cholesterol without limits But in most cases, foods with high cholesterol Often with saturated fat Eating saturated fat Or too bad fat In addition to being overweight The disease is still asking for sure. Until finally being the cause of heart disease and blood vessels and other diseases.
OK, can we eat egg yolks?
Egg yolk has a higher cholesterol content than egg whites. But we can eat egg yolks without worrying Because the yolk contains high cholesterol But with less saturated fat However, it is advisable to eat egg yolks together with other foods, such as vegetables, in order to achieve a balanced nutritional value in each meal or simply can eat eggs with both bubbles Without having to throw the yolk out anymore.
How many eggs should we eat per day?
Department of Health recommends the amount of eggs that should be eaten per day. By some as follows.
1. Babies from the age of 6 months eat 1/2 egg yolk, boiled, 1 bubble.
2. Children aged 7-12 months can consume 1 egg per day.
3. Pregnant women And lactating women Can consume 1 egg per day
4. Children aged 1-5 years and school-age children Can consume 1 egg per day
5. Working age groups and healthy elderly Can consume 1 egg per day
6. Patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood cholesterol can consume 3-4 eggs per week or according to the doctor's advice.
We can consume more than that amount. Only control the amount of protein And cholesterol from other food sources In addition to eggs, each day's meals are balanced and appropriate.

Egg yolk is more useful than you think.
From research work in Thailand during the years 2004-2007 of Dr. Kornpatmayakon Sakorn Unit, Molecular Medicine Research promotion site The Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital stated that volunteers take 1-2 eggs a day every day for 10-12 weeks. It appears that the levels of bad cholesterol in the body are reduced even though they eat both eggs. Bubble every day And also have good cholesterol levels Which may be the result of "lecithin" that is only in the yolk No egg whites
But even though yolk is very healthy, not allergic to egg whites But did not support eating only egg yolks Or in large quantities As mentioned above all the time that Should eat egg yolks coupled with other foods To get complete nutrient value This will allow us to benefit from eating yolks fully.
