To promote muscle growth, it is necessary to combine physical activity with a protein-rich diet. A source of protein that is easy to find and cook is the eggs.
This food is a real health center. In fact, eggs contain all the vitamins useful to man, except vitamin C, and are extremely rich in minerals such as calcium, iron and lecithin. The latter in particular is the one that provides energy to the muscles and is useful in reducing recovery times after physical activity.
A medium sized egg provides about 80 calories, 7 g of protein and 5 g of fat. Also in the yolk are about 200 mg of cholesterol. This is a very high value but that does not necessarily correspond to an increase in blood lipid levels.
Scientific studies have shown that about 70% of people do not assimilate cholesterol present in eggs. So the thesis that it is best to contain eggs at 2-3 a week is not valid.
Eating eggs after training encourages muscle growth, but beware of salmonella. The eggshell can be contaminated by salmonella, so if you want to eat raw eggs, make sure it does not have any stain or crack and that it is clean. Use fresh eggs (not more than 10 days), preferably from local farms. To be sure of eliminating salmonella better boil the egg for 5-8 minutes at 70 ° C.
