Features: Eggs are nutrient-rich foods, containing protein, fat, lecithin, phosphatidylcholine, various vitamins, and essential minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium. They play a significant role in maintaining the normal function of the human nervous system and promoting physical development. Eggs can enhance brain function, delay cognitive decline in the elderly, improve intelligence in middle-aged adults, and particularly strengthen memory in adolescents and infants. Research has found that using eggs to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis can achieve surprising effects. Vitamin B2 in eggs can decompose and oxidize carcinogenic substances in the body, while trace elements also have anti-cancer properties. Protein can repair liver tissue damage, and lecithin can promote the regeneration of liver cells. Eggs contain all the nutrients the human body needs and are known as an ideal nutritional storehouse, a complete protein.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that egg whites can nourish essence, replenish qi, moisturize the lungs, soothe the throat, clear heat, and detoxify. They can treat conditions such as red eyes, sore throat, dry cough, hoarseness, impotence, etc. Egg yolks can nourish blood and dispel wind, and are used to treat conditions like diarrhea, vomiting blood, restlessness, insomnia, and uterine bleeding.
Duck eggs are equally nutritious and can be compared to chicken eggs. Modern medical research suggests that duck eggs are rich in protein, fat, and vitamins, with a total amount of inorganic salts exceeding those of chicken eggs. They are particularly abundant in iron and calcium, which are urgently needed by the human body, benefiting bone development and preventing anemia. The organic substances in duck eggs are beneficial for physical growth and development, maintaining the normal function of the nervous system, and their nutritional value is roughly the same as that of chicken eggs.
Preserved eggs (Century eggs) have a significantly higher content of inorganic salts than duck eggs, while their fat content is slightly lower, and their total energy is slightly reduced. They can stimulate the digestive organs, enhance appetite, and are easily digested and absorbed. They also have the effects of neutralizing stomach acid, cooling, and lowering blood pressure. TCM believes that duck eggs can greatly nourish the body, replenish yin and blood, calm the heart, stop heat, moisturize the lungs, and improve skin health. They are also used for therapeutic purposes in treating sore throats and diarrhea.
