Today, I went to the canteen with my colleagues. I asked him how he usually maintains it, because he is so immune. At that time, I just bought egg soup, that is, I washed the eggs with boiling water and then added some sesame oil. He pointed to the egg soup and said, "I drink this every night." Very hot, it feels very comfortable after drinking! "
There are different voices in life about the diet of "eggs boiled with water". Many people think it can improve immunity and regulate the body. Some people think this way of eating is unhealthy and unsanitary.
So is it good or bad to eat eggs with boiling water? Today, I will give you a popular science lesson.
The so-called safety and health are two aspects, one is whether there is nutrition, and the other is whether there is any risk to the body. When it comes to boiled eggs, you will definitely think of raw eggs. The book "Advantages and Disadvantages of Eggs" published by the School of Life Sciences of Shaanxi Normal University clearly points out that eating raw eggs is unsafe and unsanitary, and some eggs may be infected with Salmonella if stored for too long, which will generally cause diarrhea; Raw eggs have no nutrition and cannot be digested. Generally speaking, eggs contain protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, and are fully nutritious.
It is enough to see that only by eating eggs scientifically can the nutritional value of eggs be brought into play.
Boiling eggs with boiling water is an ancient way to eat. When I was a child, I was sick, such as a cold, sore throat and red throat. My family would let us drink a bowl of hot boiled eggs, and after drinking for several days, the symptoms would be obviously alleviated. In fact, this method has been recorded in folk therapy in China.
Professor Meng Qingyun, director of the Institute of Basic Theory of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that people who are prone to get angry at ordinary times can often drink boiled eggs to get rid of fire. The method is very simple: eggs 1 piece, rock sugar foam 10g, and boiled water can be taken once a day. Eggs washed with boiled water are soft and easily digested by the stomach, which can accelerate the healing of ulcer lesions.
From the perspective of modern diet, I don't agree with this topic, mainly because the water temperature can't reach a certain level when washing eggs, and the heating time is too short to completely kill bacteria.
If you can't guarantee that the eggs are not polluted, it's best to cook them completely, because raw eggs contain a kind of protein, which will react with human biotin, thus destroying the digestion of other nutrients. Protein contained in boiled eggs has been denatured, which will reduce the occurrence of side effects.
The simplest and most common is boiled eggs. Boiled eggs are a very healthy way to eat, and its nutritional utilization rate is almost 100%. So boiling eggs is not only the most time-saving and labor-saving, but also the safest and most nutritious.
Benefits:
1. Regulating immunity
Boiled eggs are rich in protein, amino acids and some trace elements, such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium. After heating, the liquid is easily absorbed by the human body, and most people will not feel uncomfortable in the intestines, which will help strengthen their physique and improve their immunity.
Removing fire and moistening dryness
Because the egg itself has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, and the egg is cooked, the loss of nutrients is very small, so this method can alleviate the symptoms of sore throat and mouth fire hunger.
3. Alleviate anemia symptoms
Egg yolk is rich in iron, lutein and folic acid, which can play a good role in conditioning and supplementing nutrition for some people with iron deficiency anemia and sallow complexion. These ingredients also help prevent vision changes.
Prevention of Alzheimer's disease
Eggs contain lecithin, which can improve the activity of brain cells, repair damaged brain cells, reduce fatigue and enhance memory. For teenagers, it plays a great role in the development of nervous system and body. In the elderly, long-term administration can play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Improve skin
Egg white contains ovotransferrin, which has biological activity and contains antibacterial and antiviral substances such as lysozyme, which is helpful to improve skin and promote metabolism. Moreover, egg white does not contain cholesterol and fat, and can be eaten by patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or obese people.
Disadvantages:
1. Dyspepsia
If you drink it for a long time and fail to cook the eggs completely, it may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Because there is a kind of protein in raw eggs, it will prevent pepsin from contacting with protein in eggs, which is not conducive to protein's digestion and absorption, and will increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion.
2. Intestinal infection
Because eggs are washed with boiling water, germs may be brought into the egg liquid during this process. If the temperature or time is insufficient, the bacteria cannot be completely killed. Because some people's gastrointestinal tract is fragile, they may have symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
1. Be sure to use boiling hot water instead of warm water, otherwise the eggs will not be "cooked" to reduce the harm of bacteria.
2. Eggs should be fresh and clean, and eggs with a sense of shaking are not very fresh.
3. "Egg boiled water" is suitable for drinking in the morning, and it is best to eat it with some carbohydrates.
4. No matter adding sugar or salt, both flavoring agents should be put less, otherwise it will be counterproductive and aggravate the original discomfort symptoms.
People who are allergic to eggs should not eat them.
Eggs are one of the most daily foods for people, and they are suitable for people of all ages. But you can't eat too much at a time. Eating too much will cause protein's waste, and will also lead to the increase of metabolic creatinine and nitrogen, which will bring great burden to the kidneys. Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to eat an egg a day.
Do you often wash eggs with boiling water? In fact, from a safer point of view, eating eggs is not the best way. Various surveys show that the most recommended way to eat eggs at present is to boil eggs, which is the safest and healthiest, and generally 8- 10 minutes is appropriate.
Drinking boiled eggs properly will improve your health, but it will not exaggerate the nutritional value given by the eggs themselves. Therefore, in life, we should choose a scientific way to eat eggs and realize the nutritional value of eggs as much as possible.
