　　Eggs also contain other important trace elements, such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus. In particular, the iron in egg yolks reaches 7 mg/100 grams, but the iron contained is non-heme iron. If you eat eggs alone to supplement iron, the bioavailability of iron is low, only 3%. anemia People can eat it with some vitamin C, iron-containing vegetables and meat, which can effectively improve the absorption of iron in eggs.

　　Eggs are also rich in phosphorus, but relatively deficient in calcium. Therefore, eating milk and eggs together can provide complementary nutrition. Eggs are also rich in vitamins A and B. Vitamins, iron, calcium, potassium and other minerals needed by the human body can decompose and oxidize carcinogens in the human body and have anti-cancer effects.

　　Misconceptions about eating eggs

　　Let’s first talk about the misunderstandings of expectant mothers about eating eggs. Some expectant mothers say that eating eggs often leads to high cholesterol. In fact, this statement is not very correct. Because egg yolk is rich in lecithin, it 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, the lecithin in the egg yolk can release choline after digestion, enter the blood and synthesize acetylcholine, which is the main substance of neurotransmitters and can improve brain function and enhance memory.

　　Some expectant mothers say that raw eggs are more nutritious, but this is unscientific. Eating raw eggs is not only unhygienic and can easily cause bacterial infection, but it is also unnutritious. Raw eggs contain avidin, which affects the absorption of biotin in food, leading to "biotin deficiency" such as loss of appetite, general weakness, and muscle pain. In addition, raw eggs contain "antitrypsin", which will destroy the human body's digestive function. As for those "hairy eggs" that have been hatched but have not yet hatched chicks, they are even more unhygienic.

　　The most nutritious way to eat

　　There are many ways to eat eggs. In terms of nutrient absorption and digestion, boiled eggs are 100%, scrambled eggs are 97%, fried eggs are 98%, fried eggs are 81.1%, boiled water and milk are 92.5%, and eaten raw are 30% to 50%.

　　From this point of view, boiled eggs are the best way to eat, but be careful to chew them slowly, otherwise it will affect absorption and digestion. However, for children, steamed egg custard and egg drop soup are the most suitable, because these two methods can loosen protein and be easily digested and absorbed by the body.
