Apart From Being Rich In Protein, Routine Consumption Of Effective Eggs Increases Sexual Life

JAKARTA - Eggs have long been one of many people's favorite foods. Apart from being affordable and easy to process, eggs are also known as a practical source of protein. But who would have thought, apart from being beneficial for the health of the body, eggs can actually help improve sexual life.

According to nutritionist Aliya Porter, white and egg yolk contain different nutritional ingredients.

Egg whites are lower in fat and calories, and remain a good source of protein. While egg yolks contain fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), vitamin B2, B12, folates, as well as essential minerals such as iodine, phosphorus, and selenium, "explained Porter, quoted from the Women's Health page on Saturday, September 13, 2025.

Nutritionist Ruchi Bhuwania Lohia added that egg whites have their own advantages.

Egg white contains nine essential amino acids with an optimal ratio. This makes the eggs one of the best quality sources of protein, said Lohia.

Eggs can be processed in various ways, but the way the cooking affects the nutritional content.

Cooking eggs makes the protein easier to digest. However, cooking for too long can reduce some vitamins, while cooking with excess oil will add fat and calories, "explained Porter.

Lohia added that the best way is to break it half cooked or burn it with a little oil.

The boiled egg has more antioxidants. Omelet is also good because it can be added vegetables and spices to increase the nutritional value," said Lohia.

There is no official limit from the NHS (National Health Service, UK) on egg consumption. But Porter reminded not to overdo it.

One to two eggs per day is quite ideal. The point is, don't let the consumption of eggs make us miss other nutritious food variations," said Porter.

Apart from being rich in protein, eggs can also help the weight loss program because of its filling nature.

"Proteins in eggs help stabilize blood sugar and make you full longer, thereby reducing the desire to snack," said Lohia.

Lohia emphasized that the myth about cholesterol in egg yolks has now been refuted.

The latest research shows that cholesterol from food only slightly affects blood cholesterol levels. So, whole eggs remain safe for consumption by most healthy people, "

One of the surprising benefits of eggs is its relation to sexual life.

"The vitamin B-rich egg plays a role in regulating hormones and reducing stress." Lohia explained.

Lohia said the collin content in eggs serves as an assetilcolin precursor, which is important for neural signals and sexual arousal.

"The selenium contained in egg yolks plays a role in the formation of sperm and overall reproductive health." Lohia said.
