Can I eat eggs if I have arteriosclerosis?

Arteriosclerosis is a non-inflammatory disease. There are many types of arteriosclerosis, and the diet for arteriosclerosis also requires special attention. Many people want to know whether they can eat eggs if they have arteriosclerosis. Eating eggs can prevent and treat arteriosclerosis.

1. Eggs can prevent and treat arteriosclerosis. American nutritionists and medical workers used eggs to prevent and treat atherosclerosis and achieved unexpectedly amazing results. They extracted lecithin from eggs, walnuts, and pig liver, and gave 4 to 6 tablespoons of it to cardiovascular patients every day. After 3 months, the patient's serum cholesterol dropped from 1,000 mg to 180 mg. This research result has attracted the attention of the world medical community. Various countries have successively used this method in clinical practice and achieved satisfactory results.

2. Avoiding eggs does not prevent atherosclerosis. On the contrary, it loses a good source of nutrition, which is obviously extremely unwise. Scientists believe that for elderly people whose cholesterol levels are within the normal range, eating two eggs a day will increase the cholesterol in 100 ml of blood by no more than 2 mg. This tiny amount is unlikely to cause atherosclerosis. Can people with arteriosclerosis eat eggs? Other eggs, such as duck eggs, goose eggs, pigeon eggs, etc., are the same as chicken eggs. People with atherosclerosis do not need to strictly avoid eating them. Eating 1 to 3 eggs a day (such as 1 goose egg, 2 duck eggs, 3 to 4 pigeon eggs) will not cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Patients with arteriosclerosis can eat eggs. Arteriosclerosis is related to the natural aging of the human body. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are risk factors that promote arteriosclerosis. Effective control of blood pressure and blood lipids can significantly delay the progression of arteriosclerosis and improve arteriosclerosis to a certain extent. It is recommended to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and actively control blood pressure and blood lipids. If symptoms occur, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs can be used for treatment, and arterial stents can be used if necessary.
