El huevo es un alimento indispensable en casi todas las cocinas y es que se ha llegado a demostrar sus grandes beneficios para nuestro organismo. Un alimento que se puede preparar de diferentes maneras y que cuenta con un gran sabor ideal para consumir varias veces por semana. No es nada nuevo cuando decimos que se ha llegado a demostrar que es bueno para nuestro organismo consumir huevos varias veces por semana y hoy os vamos a explicar cuáles son sus motivos.
Si es uno de tus platos favoritos, puede que hoy te demos la excusa perfecta para poder consumir huevos varias veces por semana debido a su multitud de beneficios para el organismo. Quédate y descubre todas las razones.
Antes que nada es importante decir que se ha demostrado que una persona adulta puede consumir huevos entre 6 y 7 veces a la semana sin que encontremos efectos negativos en su salud. Un huevo al día no supone un mayor riesgo de padecer enfermedades cardiovasculares.
Podemos encontrar cientos de mitos acerca del consumo excesivo de huevos a la semana y una relación negativa con nuestra salud.
Uno de los motivos de por qué consumir huevo varias veces por semana está relacionada con unos malos hábitos de salud es por ciertos estudios realizados en la década de los sesenta. Se demostró que tener altos niveles de colesterol estaba relacionado con padecer un mayor riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Es por ello que se valoró como opción que la solución era abandonar el consumo de alimentos que fuesen ricos de dicho nutriente.
Más adelante se llegó a descubrir que el colesterol dietético, el cual está presente en los alimentos y el colesterol en sangre no guarda relación directa. Aunque cueste creer, consumir alimentos con alto contenido en colesterol no provoca un aumento del colesterol en sangre. Lo que realmente implica una elevada concentración de colesterol es la cantidad de grasas saturadas que se encuentran presentes en los alimentos.
No obstante, los alimentos ricos en colesterol son también ricos en grasas saturadas y de ahí la relación que encontramos en esa creencia. Cabe destacar que en el huevo no sucede lo mismo. La yema de huevo contiene altos cantidades de colesterol pero el 60% de las grasas presentes son insaturadas.
Cabe destacar que existen personas con diferentes niveles de colesterol y hay que tener siempre en cuenta las recomendaciones de nuestro médico. En el caso de personas con colesterol más elevado, lo recomendable es consumir tres o cuatro huevos a la semana e incluso podemos añadir alguna clara adicional.
Consumir huevos varias veces por semana es tan bueno para la salud que hay estudios que afirman que un huevo al día reduce las probabilidades de infarto o ictus. Con una ración de 100g de huevo al día estaríamos cubriendo el 18% de la Ingesta Diaria Recomendada de vitamina D.
No obstante se considera que es preferible relacionar el huevo al conjunto de aportes proteicos. Partimos de que el huevo nos aporta proteínas de un gran valor biológico y es por ello que debemos tener en cuenta que existen otros alimentos que también nos aportan proteína a nuestro organismo.
Lo que queremos decir con esto es que es igual de importante saber qué otros alimentos debemos incluir en nuestra dieta. Podemos consumir dos huevos al día tres veces a la semana, pero fijándonos siempre en el resto de aportes de valor proteico que reciba nuestra dieta.
Ahora que ya sabes cuál es la recomendación de consumir huevos varias veces por semana, es el momento de que revises tu menú semanal para incorporar con más frecuencia este delicioso ingrediente. Puedes encontrar grandes recetas y disfrutar de su gran versatilidad en la cocina.
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
