In daily life, it is common for people who are weak, recovering from a serious illness, or postpartum to eat a large number of eggs to strengthen their physical constitution. However, the effect is often not obvious, and side effects may even occur, such as abdominal bloating and discomfort, dizziness, and limb weakness. In severe cases, it can even lead to coma. Modern medicine refers to these symptoms as "protein poisoning syndrome".
People who are weak, recovering from a serious illness, and postpartum all have reduced gastrointestinal and digestive functions for various reasons. At this time, eating a large number of eggs will increase the burden on the digestive system. Eating too many eggs leads to an excessively high protein content in the body, causing abnormal decomposition in the intestines and producing a large amount of ammonia. This ammonia is toxic; once it dissolves in the blood, it is harmful to the human body. Sometimes, incompletely digested protein putrefies in the intestines, producing substances such as hydroxides, phenols, and indoles. These chemicals are also very toxic to the human body, thus causing the pathological manifestations of the aforementioned "protein poisoning syndrome". Based on the human body's digestive and absorption capacity for protein, eating 2 to 3 eggs per day is sufficient.
