Hey Guys,! We will be looking at the Negative Effects of
Taking Eggs Daily or Too Much Intake of Eggs.
Nutritionally, eggs are a very good source of protein and
the trace mineral selenium, a good source of phosphorus, riboflavin and vitamin
B12 and high in nutrients important for the eyes and brain, but high in
saturated fat and very high in cholesterol.
In fact, a single medium-sized egg contains 62 per cent of
the recommended maximum daily intake.
Eggs are high in calories, fat and cholesterol. Consuming
eggs every day can put you at risk for heart disease by increasing your
blood-cholesterol levels. The high caloric content may lead to weight gain if
you eat too many. As a healthier alternative, swap whole eggs for egg whites or
egg-product replacers to reduce calories, fat and cholesterol.
What are possible
Effects Of Eggs?
Excessive Calories
Firstly,Large eggs provide approximately 75 calories each.
Filling your breakfast plate with three scrambled eggs packs about 225
calories, just from
the eggs. The high number of calories you consume from eggs
may lead to weight gain over time. Do you
know that It takes an excess of 3,500 calories to pack on 1 pound of body
weight ?, explains the National Institutes of Health. Eating three eggs per day
can lead to as much as 1 pound of weight gain in less than three weeks..
High Cholesterol
Secondly, human Consuming eggs on a daily basis adds an
excessive amount of cholesterol to your diet. Cholesterol is a fatty, waxy
substance that builds up on arterial walls when you have too much in your
blood. As it builds up in your arteries, it makes them hard and stiff and
causes blood clots to form. Your heart has to work harder to push blood
through, increasing your blood pressure. These harmful effects of cholesterol
boost your risk of heart attack and heart disease. Keep your daily cholesterol
intake to less than 300 milligrams or under 200 milligrams if you already have
high blood cholesterol.
Fat Content
Eating eggs on a daily basis drastically increases your fat
intake. You need some fat in your diet to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, produce
certain hormones and perform other functions. Too much fat, particularly
saturated fat from eggs, can be harmful and increase your risk of heart
disease. You need between 20 to 35 percent calories from fat, following the
report from Dietary Guidelines for Americans in 2010. Based on a 2,000-calorie diet, you can
have 44 to 77 daily grams of fat. Large eggs provide nearly 5 grams of fat per
egg. For a 2,000-calorie diet, three scrambled eggs at breakfast take up as
much as 35 percent of your calories for the entire day..
Other Considerations
and Possible solution
All of the fat and cholesterol in eggs comes directly from
the yolk. Opt for plain egg whites in a carton or separate egg yolks from the
whites before cooking. Egg-replacer products are derived from egg whites and are
another option for fat-free, cholesterol-free eggs. These healthier
alternatives drastically cut calories and fat. Three scrambled egg whites
provide less than 60 calories and no cholesterol and or fat -- far less than
three scrambled whole eggs, which have 225 calories, 555 milligrams of
cholesterol and 15 grams of fat.
