Eggs:
The nutrients contained in eggs are quite rich. They contain protein, phospholipids, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium, iron, vitamin D, and more. The yolk of an egg contains a certain amount of phospholipids. The choline separated from phospholipids in the human body has the effect of preventing skin aging and making the skin smooth and beautiful. Eggs also contain a relatively rich amount of iron; 100 grams of egg yolk contains 150 milligrams of iron. The iron element in the body plays a role in blood production and in transporting oxygen and nutrients in the blood.
The rosy beauty of a person's complexion is inseparable from the iron element. If iron is insufficient, it can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, causing a person's face to become sallow and the skin to lose its beautiful luster.
Little knowledge:
Nutrition experts believe that eggs should be boiled in boiling water for 5-7 minutes. Fried eggs that are overcooked will have their edges scorched, and the high-molecular-weight proteins in the egg white will turn into low-molecular-weight amino acids. These amino acids can often form toxic chemical substances at high temperatures.
We need to consume enough protein every day, and eggs are the best source of protein. Therefore, eggs are an indispensable nutritional food in our daily lives.

Duck eggs:
Duck eggs also have skin care and beautifying effects, though their beautifying effect is slightly inferior to that of eggs. Duck eggs contain nutrients such as protein, phospholipids, vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B1, vitamin D, calcium, potassium, iron, and phosphorus.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that duck eggs are sweet in taste and cool in nature, with effects such as nourishing yin, clearing the lungs, enriching the muscles, and beautifying the skin. If you often consume duck egg custard made by stewing one duck egg, 10 grams of tremella (silver ear mushroom), and 20 grams of rock sugar, it has the effects of nourishing yin to reduce fire, moistening the lungs, and beautifying the skin.
Method: Soak the tremella in water until it softens, wash it, add water, and simmer over low heat until it is thoroughly cooked; beat in the duck egg, add rock sugar, and then cook over high heat until the duck egg is fully cooked. Duck eggs are slightly cool in nature, unlike eggs which are neutral in nature. Therefore, they are not suitable for people with insufficient spleen yang or those with damp-cold diarrhea.
Quail eggs:
The nutritional value of quail eggs is no less than that of eggs, and they have good skin care and beautifying effects. Quail eggs contain nutrients such as protein, cerebral phospholipids, lecithin, lysine, cystine, vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B1, vitamin D, iron, phosphorus, and calcium.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that quail eggs are sweet in taste and neutral in nature, with effects such as nourishing blood and qi, strengthening the body and brain, enriching the muscles, and beautifying the skin. Quail eggs have a regulatory and nourishing effect on patients with anemia, malnutrition, neurasthenia, irregular menstruation, hypertension, bronchitis, and arteriosclerosis; for women with anemia or irregular menstruation, their regulatory, nourishing, and beautifying effects are particularly significant.
