[June 1 Children's Network Introduction] Eggs are very nutritious, and many people habitually eat one every day. For pregnant women. Eggs are not something you can eat anytime. Pregnant women must not eat eggs when they catch a cold, otherwise it will cause bloating in the pregnant woman or even more serious. You must pay attention when pregnant! Don’t blame me for not telling you.
When you have a cold or fever, the enzyme activity in the human body will decrease and the metabolism will slow down. Eggs are rich in substances such as protein that are not easy to absorb. If a patient with a fever eats eggs, it will increase the heat in the body, because the heat cannot be dissipated, just like "adding oil to the fire" will burn even more severely. Therefore, it is best not to eat eggs when you have a cold or a fever. It is better to eat eggs when you first recover.
Eggs are indeed rich in nutrients, but they should not be eaten more during fever, especially fried poached eggs or scrambled eggs. Because eggs mainly contain oval protein and ovalbumin, they are a complete protein, 99.7% can be absorbed by the human body. After eating eggs, a certain amount of extra calories will be generated, which will increase the body's calories and aggravate the symptoms of fever. Similarly, other high-protein foods such as lean meat, fish, etc. will also increase the body's calories and should be eaten as little as possible.
Hazards of eating eggs in pregnant women
form bloating
Eggs are high-protein foods and require a good digestion function to digest and absorb them. However, during the cold, the enzyme activity in pregnant women's body decreases and their metabolism slows down. At this time, eating eggs is difficult to digest, which will cause bloating.
Aggravates fever
Eggs are high-protein foods and have extremely high calorie content. If pregnant women eat eggs during cold, it will increase the calories in the body, because the calories cannot be dissipated, just like "adding oil to the fire" will burn even more. Therefore, it is best not to eat eggs when you have a cold or a fever.
Misconceptions about eating eggs for pregnant women
Raw eggs are more nutritious
Eating raw eggs is not only unhygienic, it is easy to cause bacterial infections, but it is also not nutritious. Raw eggs contain avidin , which affects the absorption of biotin in food, resulting in "biotin deficiency" such as loss of appetite, general weakness, and muscle pain. In addition, raw eggs contain " antitrypsin ", which will destroy the body's digestive function. As for those "feather eggs" that have been hatched but have not yet hatched, they are even more unhygienic.
The more eggs the mother eats, the better
The mother consumes a lot of physical strength during delivery, weakens the digestive and absorption function, and reduces the detoxification function of the liver. After eating it in large quantities, it will cause the burden on the liver and kidneys to increase, causing adverse consequences. Ingesting too much protein will also produce a large amount of ammonia, hydroxyl, phenol and other chemical substances in the intestines, which is very harmful to the human body and is prone to symptoms such as abdominal distension, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and coma, leading to "protein poisoning syndrome". Protein intake should be calculated based on the body's digestion and absorption functions of protein. Generally speaking, it is enough for a mother to eat about 3 eggs a day.
Eat eggs often cholesterol is high
, because egg yolks are rich in lecithin , which is a powerful emulsifier that can make cholesterol and fat particles extremely fine, smoothly pass through the blood vessel wall and be fully utilized by cells, thereby reducing cholesterol in the blood. Moreover, after digestion of lecithin in egg yolk, it can release choline , which enters the blood and synthesizes acetylcholine , which is the main substance of neurotransmitters, which can improve brain function and enhance memory.
