00:04Egg yolks are so high in cholesterol, is it okay to eat them every day?
00:07This problem really bothers many people.
00:10Many people get nervous as soon as they hear the word "cholesterol".
00:12Concerns that it will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease
00:15So I only ate the egg whites and avoided the yolks.
00:18However, recent nutritional research has gradually overturned this view.
00:23Chen Yin-jun, a nutritionist at the Taipei City Community Nutrition Promotion Center, said...
00:27express
00:27That for most healthy adults
00:31There's no need to worry excessively about consuming whole eggs in moderation.
00:34Cholesterol levels will skyrocket.
00:36Because the nutrients in egg yolks help maintain brain function.
00:40Reduce your risk of dementia
00:43Yes, many people think that protein is the key point.
00:45But actually, eggs contain vitamins A and D.
00:49Lutein, phosphatidylcholine, choline and other important nutrients
00:53It's mainly concentrated in the yolk.
00:55If you only eat egg whites and not egg yolks for a long time...
00:58Instead, you might miss out on these beneficial nutrients.
01:01Moreover, many long-term studies have also found
01:04Eggs are rich in brain-boosting nutrients.
01:06Helps reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease
01:09In addition, eggs also have nerve-protecting and anti-inflammatory effects.
01:14Will the high cholesterol in egg yolks cause a spike in blood lipids?
01:19There's really no need to worry too much, because research has found...
01:22Approximately 80% of the cholesterol in our bodies is synthesized by the liver.
01:27Dietary intake accounts for only about 20%.
01:30For most healthy adults
01:33The effect of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol levels
01:37The impact is very limited.
01:38On the contrary, you are eating too much saturated fat.
01:41For example, fatty meat and processed meat products.
01:44It is more likely to affect cardiovascular health.
01:47Therefore, many countries now have dietary recommendations.
01:49The upper limit of cholesterol intake is no longer emphasized.
01:52Instead, it places greater emphasis on overall dietary balance.
01:55and reduce saturated fat intake
01:58However, there is still an important point here.
02:00This is simply to reassure people that they don't need to be overly afraid of high-cholesterol foods.
02:05But that doesn't mean you can eat without restraint.
02:07In general, it's important to eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole-food complexes.
02:11To maintain a balanced diet
02:12The nutritionist gave that reminder.
02:14Eggs are a good source of protein
02:18However, in daily diet
02:19We still need to start with eggs and fish.
02:21And beans, meat, etc.
02:23To ensure a balanced intake of protein
02:25If one day you eat three or four eggs
02:28If almost all the protein comes from eggs...
02:31On the contrary, it may lead to insufficient dietary diversity.
02:34What if he/she has diabetes?
02:36Cardiovascular disease
02:37Or problems such as familial hypercholesterolemia.
02:41It is recommended to follow the advice of a doctor or nutritionist.
02:44Adjust your egg intake
02:47Finally, the nutritionist also suggested...
02:49Eggs should ideally be boiled.
02:52Steamed eggs or fried eggs with a little oil are the main options.
02:54Use vegetable oil when cooking
02:57Avoid adding too much butter or animal fat.
03:00That's like breakfast, the common creamy scrambled eggs.
03:04Although the aroma is very strong and tempting...
03:07However, it is high in saturated fat.
03:10If you eat it long-term...
03:12It may not be good for your cardiovascular system.
03:14There's another food too.
03:16Tea eggs are probably what everyone eats most often.
03:19Because of the long soaking time in the braising liquid
03:22The content is relatively high.
03:23So, patients with high blood pressure should use it in moderation.
03:26So egg yolks aren't as scary as you think.
03:30The key lies in
03:32How you eat and find the right way
