5 foods that are most harmful to the kidneys, pig brain ranks first!

1. Animal Brain

As the saying goes, what you eat nourishes what you need. Many white-collar workers like to eat pig brains and cow brains to nourish their brains. But do you know? In every 100g of food, pig brain contains 3100mg of cholesterol, cow brain contains 2447mg of cholesterol, and sheep brain contains slightly lower cholesterol, 2004mg per 100g. The cholesterol content of a pig brain is 10 times that of an egg and 20 times that of butter. If you like to eat animal brains, it is recommended that you do not eat more than 3 times a year.

2. Animal viscera

Sheep soup, grilled kidneys, and grilled chicken hearts are all delicacies that everyone often eats. Their cholesterol content is not low! The liver, heart, intestines, lungs, and kidneys of animals such as cattle, sheep, and chickens contain 200-400mg of cholesterol per 100g. So everyone should be more relaxed when eating skewers and drinking sheep soup. Eating them twice a month is enough to relieve the gluttony.

3. Egg yolk

According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Residents" published by the Chinese Nutrition Society, it is recommended that each person eat 1 or half an egg a day. If you are a patient with hyperlipidemia, you can eat up to 3 eggs a week. The cholesterol content of each egg is 292 mg, which is mainly concentrated in the yolk.

4. Squid

Don't ignore squid and shellfish. Every 100g of squid contains 268mg of cholesterol, so don't eat squid more than twice a week.

5. Cream

The saturated fatty acids in fats such as butter and cream can promote the liver to synthesize more cholesterol.
