4、 An egg a day
Eating one egg a day has become a common habit for long-lived elderly people.
Dr. Chen Hansheng, China's centenary birthday star and well-known economist, adheres to the principle of "three ones" in his diet every day according to nutrition arrangements: "Eat an egg in the morning, drink a glass of milk in the evening, and eat a large apple in the middle." He eats more vegetarian foods and less meat three times a day, and scientifically arranges his diet, resulting in healthy eating.
Nutritionists have determined that egg white contains a large amount of water and protein. Egg white protein is extremely rich in amino acids, and its composition is very suitable for human needs. This protein has the highest utilization rate in the human body. Protein has a repair effect on liver tissue damage. The lecithin in egg yolk can promote the regeneration of liver cells, increase the amount of human plasma protein, and enhance the metabolic function and immune ability of the body. After being digested by the human body, lecithin can release choline, which can improve memory. Egg yolk is rich in inorganic salts, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins.
In addition, eggs contain a large amount of cholesterol, and fats are saturated fatty acids. Eating too many eggs will greatly increase the intake of cholesterol, cause atherosclerosis and harm the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and increase the burden of liver and kidney.
