      It’s a common misconception that eating eggs in hot weather is harmful or generates excessive “body heat.” While some traditional beliefs categorize eggs as “heaty” foods, modern nutritional science doesn’t support this as a direct cause of illness or significant body temperature increase.
      Here’s what’s important to understand about eating eggs in hot weather:
      * Food Safety is Key: The primary concern with eggs in hot weather is the increased risk of bacterial growth, particularly Salmonella. Higher temperatures accelerate bacterial multiplication. To prevent foodborne illness:
      * Proper Storage: Always refrigerate eggs promptly and keep them at 40°F (4°C) or colder. Don’t leave them out at room temperature for more than two hours (or one hour if the temperature is above 90°F / 32°C).
      * Thorough Cooking: Cook eggs until both the yolk and white are firm. Avoid consuming raw or undercooked eggs, especially for vulnerable groups like pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
      * Hygiene: Wash your hands, utensils, and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw eggs.
      * Avoid Cracked Eggs: Discard eggs with damaged shells, as bacteria can easily enter through cracks.
      * Digestion and Body Heat:
      * Diet-induced thermogenesis: All foods, especially protein-rich ones like eggs, require energy for digestion, which generates a small amount of heat in the body. This is a normal metabolic process and not inherently harmful. Your body has natural thermoregulatory mechanisms to maintain a stable internal temperature.
      * Hydration and Balance: If you are well-hydrated and consume a balanced diet that includes water-rich foods (fruits, vegetables), eating eggs in moderation should not cause problems.
      * Moderation: While eggs are highly nutritious, consuming them in excessive quantities, regardless of the weather, could potentially lead to some digestive discomfort for certain individuals. A couple of eggs a day is generally considered fine for most healthy people.
      In summary, you can safely enjoy eggs in hot weather as long as you prioritize proper storage, thorough cooking, and good hygiene practices. The idea that eggs inherently cause harm or excessive “heat” in summer is largely a myth.
