Breakfast with eggs: Experts show unique recipe to maximize benefits
Eggs are a rich source of nutrition, containing many essential nutrients. And when it comes to eggs, many people will wonder: 'Which part is healthier, the egg white or the egg yolk?'.
Here, nutritionist Shalini Sudhakar, working in India, explains whether it is best to eat egg yolks or egg whites for breakfast.

Benefits of egg whites . One large egg white, about 33-35 g, contains 17 calories, 3.6 g of protein with all the essential amino acids, just no cholesterol, according to the Times Of India.
Research shows that egg whites are an excellent source of protein with antioxidant, anti-fatigue, visceral fat loss, muscle building, and gut health benefits, says Sudhakar. They are cholesterol-free, which may be beneficial for people with high cholesterol or heart disease risk factors.
Benefits of egg yolks. One large egg yolk, about 17g, contains 55 calories, 2.7g protein, 4.5-5g fat and 185mg cholesterol.
The yolk contains about 55 calories along with other essential nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, K, B, minerals (iron, phosphorus, zinc) and healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids. The yolk is also one of the best sources of choline, which is essential for brain, liver function and metabolism. Research shows that the yolk is rich in bioactive peptides and proteins that have antioxidant, antibacterial, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory and anticancer effects.

Kidney damage: Science finds a way to reverse the disease for the first time!
The kidneys help filter waste and balance fluids and salts. Without proper care, the kidneys can be damaged. Kidney damage is complex and often progresses without obvious warning signs.
The landmark study, published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism, has revealed a "simple" way to reverse kidney damage.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a short-term, severe loss of kidney function that can be life-threatening and increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
If not properly cared for, the kidneys can be damaged.

Previous research has shown that ceramide can damage organs such as the heart and liver. Now, scientists at the University of Utah Health (USA) have discovered that when acute kidney injury occurs, ceramide levels increase sharply in both mice and humans. Ceramide damages mitochondria - the energy source for kidney cells, thereby causing acute kidney injury.
The researchers then modified the genetic program that controls ceramide production. By altering ceramide metabolism, they were able to protect mitochondrial structure and completely prevent kidney damage in mice. The team then pre-treated the mice with the drug and found that kidney damage was avoided. The next part of this article will be on the health page on November 26.
How to preserve oranges without losing vitamin C?
Vitamin C contributes to maintaining a healthy immune system and protecting cells from the effects of free radicals. Eating oranges regularly helps the body receive enough vitamin C to meet daily physiological needs.
Vitamin C is water-soluble and is not stored in the body. Daily intake is important to avoid deficiency. Fruits and vegetables provide natural vitamin C and oranges are among the foods that are high in vitamin C.

Suzanne Fisher, a nutritionist working in the US, said that eating fresh oranges helps maintain almost intact vitamin C levels because vitamin C can decrease when exposed to light or cooked for a long time.
The daily requirement of vitamin C is 75 mg for adult women, 90 mg for adult men, 85 mg for pregnant women and 120 mg for lactating women.
People who smoke or are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke are at risk of vitamin C deficiency. Experts recommend that this group should supplement 35 mg more vitamin C per day than non-smokers.
The timing of eating oranges does not determine the effectiveness of vitamin C absorption. The most important factor is eating oranges regularly as part of a varied and balanced diet.
Oranges provide effective vitamin C when used regularly, especially during periods of weakness or when the immune system needs to be boosted.
Vitamin C is easily degraded when exposed to strong light or over long periods of storage. Consumers should store oranges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain stable vitamin C content.
Fresh oranges always provide better vitamin C content than oranges that have been stored for a long time or have been processed by heat. Start your day with health news to see more content in this article!
