RE: Doc's healthfood quest!- #1 Hey steemers!!!!....Check out my health food photos! What are your thoughts?
my bad, just posted while my buddy was still logged in. i was saying, you should watch your egg intake, depending on how many you're eating. i just remembered that when my cousin was eating 20-40 eggs a day after a while a small patch of his hair fell out O_O. i think he suspected too much selenium or some other mineral...?
Oh.. Thats a lot of eggs! I usually limit my egg intake to 2 to 4 a day.. A recent study established safety of eating 3 eggs with yolk a day. Cholesterol has been taken off of the nutrient of concern list recently and anecdotal evidence suggests even larger amounts are safe for most people.
Raw eggs do contain avidin which an antinutrient inhibiting biotin aborption. And biotin is one of the factors for healthy hair growth. As long as one doesn't go berserk for eggs and cooks them, all is good! 😁
yea, my cousin told me the same thing about the cholesterol. he had his bloodwork done during that time and it was pretty much perfect.
had no idea about the avidin though...i'm guessing he didn't know either :/ it's cool though, his hair grew back after he cut down.
now he's drinking like a gallon of lactose-free milk everyday though XD he's in the same boat as me...it's hard to get enough protein on a low-carb diet without lots of sodium.
Quite true..since I am not doing body building, a few eggs and pulses do the job for me. You can consider whey protein.
