BSS, Rajshahi :
Experts at a post-rally discussion here today mentioned regular egg intake is very much important for maintaining sound health as it’s a balanced food to all irrespective of age, male, female and season.
Bangladesh Livestock Society (BLS) and Representative of Veterinary Association, Rajshahi jointly organised the programme titled “Everyday Egg Taking for a Healthy and Nutritious Nation” at the Green Plaza of Rajshahi City Corporation in observance of the World Egg Day-2020.
District Livestock Officer Dr Ismail Haque addressed the discussion as the chief guest with BLS President Prof Jalal Uddin Sarder in the chair.
Veterinary Researcher Ismail Haque, district unit secretary of Bangladesh Poultry Association Enamul Haque and livestock officers Dr Reazul Islam, Dr Saiful Islam and Dr Niyamat Ullaha also spoke.
During his keynote presentation, BLS General Secretary Dr Hemayetul Islam, narrated the significance of the day and consumption of egg.
He said egg is relatively low in calories and saturated fat and rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other healthy nutrients.
“Most of the cholesterol that circulates in our bodies is not from cholesterol in foods, but rather from our liver making cholesterol in response to high intake of saturated and trans fat,” he added.
Dr Islam said the perception that regular egg consumption leads to heart diseases has been proved incorrect, and suggested regular intake of egg, especially by pregnant women and growing children.
He said reasons behind low intake are economic status, low production and misconception.
Consumption of egg has no significant link with heart diseases, said livestock scientist and nutritionist Prof Jalal Uddin Sarder adding that protein is an important constituent of food which is necessary for strengthening and building of muscles and tissues and development of the brain.
He said the existing problems in the poultry sector should be addressed for making the poultry farming more profitable and lucrative.
