How many eggs should people over 50 eat per day? 

00:00:05.147 --> 00:00:07.667 
Many people worry that older people
should not eat too many eggs each week. 

00:00:08.007 --> 00:00:10.447 
because this is a
food high in cholesterol. 

00:00:10.907 --> 00:00:14.287 
However, eggs contain large amounts of
Red Erotot, which is HDL, 

00:00:14.607 --> 00:00:16.527 
but not entirely bad cholesterol. 

00:00:16.967 --> 00:00:18.207 
So according to the American Heart Association, 

00:00:18.547 --> 00:00:20.747 
Healthy people can eat an average of 7 eggs per week. 

00:00:21.207 --> 00:00:24.067 
Note, for older adults
with normal cholesterol levels, 

00:00:24.287 --> 00:00:27.627 
Two eggs per day is acceptable as
part of a heart-healthy diet. 

00:00:27.627 --> 00:00:30.447 
For older adults with
pre-existing high cholesterol levels, 

00:00:30.707 --> 00:00:32.907 
About 4-5 eggs per week is an ideal number. 

00:00:33.427 --> 00:00:35.907 
While you don't need to reduce your
egg count just because you're over 50, 

00:00:36.167 --> 00:00:39.287 
But you still have to check from time to
time to see if eating eggs can cause any problems. 

00:00:39.787 --> 00:00:43.327 
Egg allergy, although uncommon, can
happen to people as they get older. 

00:00:43.867 --> 00:00:48.067 
Therefore, it is best to pay attention
to any signs such as stomach pain, rash after eating eggs. 

00:00:48.307 --> 00:00:51.221 
In addition, the way eggs are prepared
also plays an important role in 

00:00:51.221 --> 00:00:52.567 
affecting the effects of this food. 

00:00:52.567 --> 00:00:56.410 
You should avoid adding animal fats such
as butter, lard, boiled eggs or frying 

00:00:56.410 --> 00:00:58.607 
with oils such as olive oil is best. 

00:00:59.087 --> 00:01:01.787 
This way you can get the
nutritional value from every egg, 

00:01:02.107 --> 00:01:05.207 
without putting yourself at risk by
consuming too much saturated fat.
