Is it good to eat eggs every day?

According to Master, Doctor Nguyen Anh Duy Tung, Nutrihome Nutrition Center, eggs are good for health, providing many nutrients. Each egg (about 50g) has 72 calories, 6.2g protein, 5g fat, 1.6g saturated fat, many vitamins (A, B2, B5, B6, B12, D, K), minerals (phosphorus, selenium, calcium, zinc). Protein in eggs provides amino acids that other foods often lack.

Healthy people can eat one egg a day to supplement essential nutrients for the body, good for health. However, people or families with a history of cardiovascular disease, high blood cholesterol, lipid disorders, high blood pressure should only eat 2-3 eggs a week. Eggs have a fairly high cholesterol content, about 180-200 mg per egg, which can easily cause the disease to progress.

All cholesterol in eggs is metabolized and stored in the liver. People with hepatitis, fatty liver, liver enzymes, cirrhosis, impaired liver function... should only eat 2-3 eggs per week to avoid increasing the burden on the liver. People with gallstones should eat the same number of eggs per week to avoid increasing the possibility of gallstone formation.

People with the above diseases can replace eggs with other food sources, need to eat a full, varied diet to balance nutrition. When preparing eggs, prioritize boiling and steaming; limit frying to reduce fat intake.

People with cardiovascular, metabolic, liver, or bile diseases should see a nutritionist for advice on a scientific diet appropriate to their health condition.
