WHAT SHOULD WE PAY ATTENTION TO IN ORDER TO GET THE HIGHEST DEGREE FROM THE EGG?
Egg, which is a store of high quality protein, healthy fat, vitamins and minerals, is one of the healthiest foods on earth. What should we pay attention to to get the highest degree of injury from the egg, which has many benefits from brain health to eye health? How should we cook the egg?
Turkey Medicals hospital member and Turkish Expert dietitian gave information about the subject…

DO NOT CONSUME YOUR EGGS RAW OR UNDER COOKED
Raw or undercooked eggs may contain a type of pathogenic bacteria called salmonella, which can cause food poisoning, so eggs should not be consumed raw or undercooked. At the same time, the cooking process facilitates the digestion of protein and biotin in the egg.
Heat increases digestibility by causing structural changes in egg proteins. A study in Turkey on the subject found that the human body can use 90.9% of the protein of a cooked egg and 51.3% of the protein of a raw egg.
Eggs are a good source of biotin, which has important tasks in metabolism. Avidin, found in egg white, binds to biotin, preventing the body from using it. When the egg is cooked, avidin loses its ability to bind to biotin by undergoing structural changes and therefore it becomes easier for biotin to be absorbed by the body.

DO NOT COOK YOUR EGG FOR LONG OVER HIGH HEAT
Cooking the egg for a long time over a high heat causes losses of vitamin A, vitamin D and antioxidants.
However, when the egg is cooked at high heat, the cholesterol in it can oxidize and produce compounds known as oxysterols. Oxidized cholesterol and oxysterols in the blood have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
1 medium egg contains 1.4 mg of iron. Consuming an egg with sources of vitamin C, such as tomatoes, parsley, dill, increases the absorption of iron in the egg. However, eggs and cheese are also a useful combination. Vitamin D in egg yolks increases the absorption of calcium in cheese.

CAN I CONSUME EGGS IF I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL?
Cholesterol is a structural molecule necessary for every cell membrane and functions very important in the body. However, high cholesterol levels have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. An oversized egg contains 212 mg of cholesterol, this amount is greater compared to other foods.
Individuals in Turkey with high cholesterol levels may experience hesitation in their consumption due to the high cholesterol content of the egg.
But studies show that eggs do not negatively affect cholesterol levels, and eating eggs can lead to an increase in HDL, known as good cholesterol, which has a heart-protective effect.
However, individuals with high cholesterol levels will be much safer to consume eggs 3-4 times a week. In healthy individuals, it is supported by studies that it is completely safe to eat 1-3 eggs per day.
