SERAYUNEWS – Eggs are a cheap and easy source of protein.
However, it turns out that eggs still have a number of harmful myths and beneficial facts that not many people know about.
Starting from the cause of rising cholesterol levels, inhibiting wound healing to result in ‘ulcers’.
In addition, there are many more myths about the harmful side effects of consuming boiled eggs.
Then, what are the actual facts about the consumption of boiled eggs?
Are there any benefits of eating boiled eggs? The following is the explanation according to the doctor.
Myths and Facts of Boiled Egg Consumption According to Doctors
The myth is that consuming eggs, especially if they are boiled, can increase a person’s cholesterol levels and hinder the wound healing process and can even lead to the risk of developing an ‘ulcer’.
Regarding cholesterol, it is true that eggs, especially the yolk, have high cholesterol levels, namely 186 mg.
That means the consumption of 2 boiled eggs a day has exceeded the recommended daily body cholesterol consumption limit of 300 mg.
But the fact is, according to the doctor’s statement, it is actually saturated fat that has the main role in causing an increase in body cholesterol.
That means, consumption of red meat, butter, milk or their derivatives is more at risk of causing the body’s cholesterol levels to rise compared to boiled eggs.
This is because boiled eggs only contain 1.6 grams of saturated fat.
Furthermore, the myth that consuming eggs can put a person’s wounds at risk of becoming ‘ulcers’ is also not true.
Launching a page that was directly reviewed by doctor Rizal Fadli, the fact is that boiled eggs are highly recommended for consumption for someone who has external injuries such as blisters from falling.
That’s because the body needs protein to accelerate skin regeneration in an effort to heal wounds suffered.
Therefore, eggs are the easiest source of protein for someone to find and consume.
So, in addition to treating injuries properly and consuming them within reasonable limits, boiled eggs actually have a myriad of facts about the benefits that dispel all the myths that have been attached to them. ***
