The new crown pneumonia epidemic is heating up. In addition to the new crown vaccine, it is the long-term way to take care of one's own immunity. Dietitians suggest that a balanced and diverse diet can effectively enhance immunity and reduce the risk of infection. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, and one egg a day can help boost immunity.
Xu Huiyu, director of the Food and Nutrition Center of the Dong Foundation, pointed out that the International Society of Immunonutrition issued a statement in 2020, suggesting that the diet should be varied and balanced in order to support immune function; Kent, UK A 2016 university study published in the Journal of American Lifestyle Medicine also pointed out that a balanced diet is one of the most pragmatic ways to boost immunity and reduce the risk of infection.
Xu Huiyu emphasized that human antibodies are mainly composed of protein. If you want to take good care of your immunity, it is very important to fully consume high-quality protein. Eggs are one of the most common sources of high-quality protein. Not only are they rich in protein, but also in yolks. Rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, and minerals such as iron and phosphorus, it can be said to be an affordable and nutritious food.
However, many people worry that eating eggs can lead to high cholesterol. Xu Huiyu explained that many international studies have confirmed that. To control cholesterol through diet, you actually need to reduce the intake of foods high in saturated fat, such as coconut oil, lard, pork belly, bacon, fried foods, croissants, cakes, snacks, etc.
Xu Huiyu said that eggs can be bought in large quantities at one time, but the principle of preservation of eggs must be paid attention to,
, you should first wipe off the dust on the egg surface with a dry cloth, and then put it in the refrigerator. It is best not to wash and then refrigerate, because washing with water will damage the protective film on the eggshell and cause the egg to deteriorate. , shorten the shelf life.
Should be stored in the refrigerator, and pay attention to the shelf life label. , Because the air chamber of the egg is at the blunt end, keep the blunt end of the egg up and the tip down when refrigerating, to avoid air in the air chamber and affect the freshness of the egg.
Xu Huiyu reminded that eggs must be washed before cooking, because the birth canal and fecal excretion location of hens are the same, eggshells are easily contaminated with chicken manure, and chicken manure often contains pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli or Salmonella. Pre-washing can prevent germs and dirt on the surface from contacting the eggs when the egg shell is cracked.
It is common to see eggs with white or brown shells, or with different shades of yolk. Xu Huiyu explained that the difference in eggshell color is due to the different breeds of hens, and there is no difference in the nutritional content of brown-shelled eggs and white-shelled eggs; while the color of egg yolks is due to differences in species and feed usage, and the nutritional components are similar.
"Health 2.0" reminds you
In response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the CDC continues to strengthen epidemic monitoring and border control measures, and wear a mask as instructed to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and actively inform the doctor of travel history and contact history, so as to facilitate timely Diagnosis and notification.
