Omelet - health benefits and harms

Today, products for a quick and healthy breakfast are quite expensive. But an undoubted favorite (despite the price) is an omelet. Its benefits and harms are largely determined by the composition of the liquid mixture. After all, rarely does anyone use the simplest basis - eggs and milk. We also need to crumble sausages, sprinkle with cheese. And it’s better to fry in butter ... In general, our article is not about recipes. Let's talk about the benefits and risks for those who like to eat an omelet.

Scary dish

Some people flatly refuse to use an omelet, calling it a nightmare for the heart and blood vessels. Huge eyes make: “What are you! There are eggs! Cholesterol!"

Meanwhile, in many countries, independent studies have been conducted. And they did not show any dependence of blood cholesterol on eating omelet for breakfast.

In fact, the worst fear is frying. Especially in butter with the addition of other high-calorie ingredients. But if you cook omelette steamed or in a slow cooker (in extreme cases, grind it in vegetable oil), then such breakfast will not bring much harm.

But besides cholesterol, there is another danger from omelet. And it consists precisely in the eggs. Firstly, they themselves are quite a powerful allergen. Therefore, they may well provoke an attack of at least diathesis. Especially in young children and in people with individual intolerance.

And secondly, the notorious salmonellosis. Many are afraid of him, like fire. But few people know that inside the egg is almost sterile. Remember, in childhood, small wounds were sealed with a film from the shell and fled to the street, to walk on. Salmonellosis bacteria can be on the outer surface of the shell. It’s not in vain that we are told that we must wash our eggs before eating! Preferably with soda.

This precaution saved many lives at one time. Do not forget to follow her always. Then the disease will not overtake you.

Lutein and Lecithin

Are the words similar in sound? But in action they are completely different. But both are very important for the human body.

Lutein. In fact, it is a pigment. On the other hand - a fat-soluble substance. It is it that is responsible for visual acuity. With his lack of human ability to see catastrophically falls. Therefore, a full omelet has a beneficial effect on your eyes.

Of course, you can get lutein from yellow vegetables and fruits. But it is in the omelet that it is in an easily accessible form and is absorbed almost completely.

Important! Protein omelette does not contain lutein. And it’s not good for the eyes.

Lecithin.This is the name of a complex of substances. They have a very extensive coverage:

• support the liver, help its work and recovery
• normalize metabolic processes
• improve memory, activate brain activity
• responsible for the quality of the membranes of all body cells
• participate in all energy reactions of the body

• involved in cell homeostasis

It is interesting to know that lecithin is found in all tissues of the human body. But the most important is its high content in omelet. Therefore, the benefits of the dish are simply invaluable. If only because with a lack of lecithin complex in the body, a person ages almost before our eyes. Plus, the body’s ability to regenerate is lost, serious diseases appear. Moreover, their etiology is incomprehensible, and the diagnosis is difficult.

But the most important thing is that this condition cannot be cured by any medicine or alternative methods. Only replenishment in the body of lecithin with meals will help. Therefore, do not take chances, eat the omelet regularly.
