In order to stay vigorous and healthy during the fasts held in Ramadan, it is necessary to pay attention to the foods consumed in iftar and sahur. Experts list the foods that should be avoided and eaten during Ramadan in their statements every year. Setting the agenda with his statements about healthy nutrition and diseases, Prof. Dr. Canan Karatay announced the superfood that should be eaten in this process.
Karatay frequently mentioned the benefits of eggs in his previous statements. Karatay, who especially suggested to eat village eggs, stated that boiled eggs provide protection against many diseases. However, the degree and amount of boiled eggs are also important.
BOILING DEGREE IS IMPORTANT
Canan Karatay also emphasized that eggs, which contain high levels of calcium and protein, should be boiled in moderate amounts. Karatay pointed to the egg as the secret of healthy life.
“IT IS A STRONG AND REAL NUTRITION”
Canan Karatay said, “Eggs should be eaten at sahur. It is a super food. It is a strong and real food when made omelet or broken into butter, when made into menemen. It can provide the whole day’s energy, minerals and fats. Lean protein is useless. I recommend eggs with plenty of butter. Do not be afraid that it will increase cholesterol. Because the cholesterol in the yolk of the egg never passes into the blood and raises the cholesterol.”
