A year ago, during a routine health check-up, Ms. Li Min (63 years old, in China) was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia and mild fatty liver disease. The doctor said that her hyperlipidemia and fatty liver were not too serious and could be improved by simply adjusting her diet and adopting healthy living habits.

After a routine health check-up, Ms. Ly began to learn about healthy eating. Ms. Ly began to limit her intake of deep-fried foods, and instead switched to boiled and steamed foods. In particular, Ms. Ly would have a boiled egg for breakfast every morning. Ms. Ly has maintained the habit of eating boiled eggs every morning for the past year.

Recently, Ms. Ly went to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The test results showed that her blood fat index had returned to normal and her fatty liver condition had improved significantly.

Ms. Ly was extremely happy with the diagnosis. Ms. Ly Man said: "I think switching to boiled and steamed dishes, especially eating a boiled egg in the morning, has helped me improve my health effectively."

Expert explanation

Is it good to eat an egg every day is a concern of many people.

Regarding the habit of eating a boiled egg in the morning, the doctor explained that eggs are one of the nutritious foods that are good for the heart and liver. According to the doctor, eggs provide beneficial nutrients such as vitamins A, B, D, E, K, omega-3, zinc and choline.

Research from Peking University (China) has shown that people who eat 4-7 eggs per week have relatively high levels of ApoA1 (a component of beneficial cholesterol - HDL). People who eat eggs regularly also have significantly lower levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol in their bodies. This means that eating eggs regularly can help regulate blood fat levels in the body and effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In addition, eggs also contain a lot of choline, which is especially good for people with fatty liver disease. The reason is that choline plays a role in transporting fat in the liver and reducing "bad" LDL cholesterol.

According to experts, lecithin in eggs also has the effect of regulating cholesterol levels, preventing cholesterol accumulation in the blood vessels and liver, promoting the separation of cholesterol and eliminating harmful components from the body. All of which are beneficial for regulating hyperlipidemia and fatty liver.

While eggs may have many benefits, doctors also note that people cannot rely on eating just one food to improve health problems.

The doctor added: "The key factor that helped Ms. Ly improve her health was that she limited her consumption of foods high in saturated fat and trans fat such as fatty meat, fried foods, etc., and increased her intake of boiled and steamed dishes."

Is it good to eat one egg a day?

Many people wonder whether it is good to eat one egg a day, because the truth is that there are still many opinions that eating a lot of eggs and eating them regularly is not good.

Talking about this issue, Dr. Nguyen Trong Hung - Head of the Department of Examination and Nutrition Consultation for Adults, National Institute of Nutrition, told Tuoi Tre newspaper that eggs are very good food, healthy people without diseases can eat up to one egg per day.

An average chicken egg contains 187mg of cholesterol. Eggs contain a significant amount of cholesterol, but there is a positive correlation between lecithin and cholesterol because lecithin has the role of regulating cholesterol, preventing atherosclerosis and eliminating cholesterol from the body.

Egg whites are fat-free and lower in calories than yolks, but they contain more than half of the egg's total protein. Egg whites are also rich in nutrients such as niacin, potassium, riboflavin, and magnesium, which are good for overall health.

Egg yolks contain less protein than egg whites, but contain most of the vitamins A, B6, B12, and D, calcium, folate, and omega-3s, as well as cholesterol and essential fatty acids. Therefore, the yolk is considered more nutrient dense, providing about 55 calories.

Not all eggs are created equal. The nutritional value of an egg depends on the size of the egg. Cooking an egg, adding oil, butter, or eating it with bacon, sausage, or cheese can increase the calorie content of the egg significantly.

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 severely.

All cholesterol in eggs is metabolized and stored in the liver. People with hepatitis, fatty liver, high 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.

Everyone, especially those with cardiovascular, metabolic, liver, or bile diseases, should see a nutritionist for advice on a scientific diet suitable for their health condition.
