Many people think that as long as cholesterol is elevated, all foods with high fat content, such as egg yolks, crab yolks, or fatty meats and fried foods, can be eaten, but this is actually a misconception. Even if your cholesterol is high, there is nothing wrong with eating a small amount of egg yolk. Besides fat, egg yolk also contains protein, amino acids and sugars, as well as a small amount of vitamins, which are very beneficial to the body and are needed for normal body activities. The main reason for high cholesterol is a problem with the body’s fat metabolism, and to a lesser extent, a temporary increase in cholesterol caused by the intake of too much fatty foods. Most of the reasons are due to problems with the body’s fat metabolism, so it is only necessary to avoid excessive intake of high-fat foods in the diet.
