　　Can patients with liver disease eat egg yolks?

　　In fact, cholesterol is an important component of the human heart, brain, liver, kidney and tissue cells. It is one of the basic "building materials" for liver cell repair and a synthetic raw material for human hormones. It can also be converted into vitamin D3 in the body, which is an effective medium for destroying tumor cells and removing harmful substances. The human body must supplement 500 mg of cholesterol from the diet every day, and the body synthesizes 1000 mg/day to 1500 mg/day on its own, in order to maintain a normal blood cholesterol concentration of 110 mg/100 ml (mmol/L) to 250 mg/100 ml (mmol/L). The human body has strong regulatory potential for the intake, digestion, absorption, synthesis, decomposition, and excretion of cholesterol.

　　egg It provides the highest quality protein to the human body. It is also rich in trace elements such as selenium, zinc, chromium and other essential nutrients that protect the arteries, promote liver cell regeneration and strengthen the heart and brain. The idea and practice of not daring to eat eggs and egg yolks lack practical basis. As long as the high-quality protein foods you choose every day are milk, eggs, fish, and shellfish, instead of offal and meat from pigs, cows, sheep, rabbits, dogs, and donkeys, and you eat no more than 2 small eggs a day, then the cholesterol in the egg yolks can not only nourish your liver and heart, but also keep you healthy and longevity. I hope that from now on, patients with hepatitis and heart and cerebrovascular diseases can mentally dispel their worries about eating eggs and physically eliminate the ban on eating egg yolks.
