Food, Medicines, and Lies
The Health Talk series by Dr. Prritii
While eggs are nutritious and can be part of a healthy diet, there are several reasons why some might choose to avoid them in an anti-inflammatory diet:
1. Potential for Allergies: Eggs are a common allergen. Even minor allergies can trigger inflammatory responses in the body.
2. Arachidonic Acid Content: Egg yolks contain arachidonic acid, a type of omega-6 fatty acid that can promote inflammation if consumed in excess. This is particularly relevant for individuals who already have a high intake of omega-6 fatty acids from other sources.
3. Sensitivity to Proteins: Some individuals may have sensitivities to certain proteins found in eggs, which could potentially lead to inflammatory reactions.
4. Dietary Balance: In an anti-inflammatory diet, the focus is often on foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Reducing or avoiding foods that may tip the balance toward higher omega-6 intake can help maintain an optimal anti-inflammatory state.
5. Ethical or Personal Preferences: Some people avoid animal products, including eggs, due to ethical, environmental, or personal health beliefs, aligning their diet more closely with anti-inflammatory principles.
6. Chronic Conditions: Certain autoimmune or chronic conditions might be exacerbated by egg consumption due to individual-specific triggers.
While eggs can be a part of a balanced diet for many, their role in an anti-inflammatory diet can vary based on individual health conditions and goals. After working with 6000 plus patients dr priti always insists that we avoid eggs for minimum 3 weeks and then introduce it to know how our body feels after eating eggs
