That's all. Shibarova I.S. was with you. - phytotherapist

Good afternoon friends! Sometimes we spend a lot of money on maintaining our health. Meanwhile, there is a penny remedy that will replace a hundred pills and potions. This is whey, the benefits and harms of which for the health of the body, as well as the doses of intake, I will tell you today. This simple remedy for healing and rejuvenation is available to everyone and can work wonders.

Whey is the liquid product that remains after milk has been curdled and strained. It is usually a by-product in the production of cottage cheese, cheeses, edible casein and cow's milk. The history of the use of whey from milk has more than one century. Went through universal adoration and years of oblivion.

They say that the beautiful Cleopatra washed her face with serum and only therefore had a delightful complexion. Paracelsus and Hippocrates prescribed a healing drink to their patients. True, in those ancient times they did not yet know about cow's milk, cows were not kept in Europe at that time, and therefore they used goat or sheep.

There is an erroneous opinion that in Russia they learned about the benefits of whey in post-Petrine times, and only then they began to use it in nutrition, and before that they simply poured it out. This is not entirely true. There is evidence that fermented milk dishes were served as early as the 10th century, in Kyiv during the feasts of Prince Vladimir. Whether they drank whey then or not, it is not known for sure, but over time, they stopped using fermented milk products and forgot for many years.

But once it occurred to someone to knead the dough for cakes with sour milk, and they liked the result so much that since then the Russians have fallen in love with the healing drink again.

Whey - benefits

The benefits and harms of whey, like all products, directly depend on the natural composition of the product.

Milk serum for diabetes

According to some results of scientific research, it has been found that with diabetes, a drink can and should be regularly included in the menu (naturally, in the absence of contraindications, so as not to worsen the condition). Scientists from the University of Israel found that modern drugs prescribed for this disease are identical to the action of the protein contained in the serum.

Continuous use of the product improves the production of insulin and glucan-like peptide - a hormone that regulates glucose levels after meals. And this contributes to the fact that after eating, the amount of glucose in the blood does not increase.

Attention! The drink does not replace the main treatment, it is only an auxiliary.

How to take serum:

The dose of drinking a drink for diabetics is a glass of drink, divided into three doses per day. Before use, the fermented milk product should be diluted with water, based on a part of whey - 2 water.

Benefits of serum for women

A study of the composition of whey showed that it contains lactose. A substance necessary for the productive activity of lactobacilli. And they are responsible for the state of the microflora of the female vagina and inhibit the growth of unwanted fungi.

Regular consumption of a milk drink is useful for many gynecological diseases. It:

• Thrush.
• Genital herpes.
• Colpitis.

In addition, serum is used to treat cracked heels and corns. To do this, steam the legs well in a warm drink. Regularity is the key to rapid success.

A sour-milk drink has proven itself excellently in getting rid of cellulite. Women - take on arms! There is evidence that the appearance of an orange peel on the sides contributes to a lack of potassium. And in a glass of healthy drink - its daily rate.

Milk serum for the face

The benefits of serum for facial skin were confirmed in a completely unexpected way. In the middle of the 19th century, a hospital worked near Kyiv, where patients with poor digestion were given fermented milk products, including whey. Soon, the observant staff of the hospital noticed that the condition of the skin of the face of almost all patients improved significantly. So the secret of Cleopatra's beauty was once again discovered.

I suggest you make wonderful masks at home that will cleanse your skin, whiten and even out your complexion, become a wonderful peeling, removing dead cells, and perfectly nourish and moisturize your skin, getting rid of fine wrinkles.

1. For peeling. Add salt to the drink, preferably sea salt, but you can also use regular salt, a little oatmeal, which, if desired, can be replaced with ground coffee. Massage onto face and then rinse.

I wanted to finish the article, but I remembered that I came across recipes for using serum for plants. Now the summer season is just beginning, so it will not be superfluous to touch on this topic.

Whey - benefit or harm to plants

Knowing about the rich mineral composition of whey, I think there is no doubt - benefit or harm to plants, of course, benefit. And the benefits will not only be as a fertilizer. It is also used to prevent fungal diseases of plants, such as powdery mildew and late blight.

But here you need to know the "doses":

• For watering plants for the purpose of fertilization, the whey is diluted with water at room temperature in a ratio of 1:10, respectively, 10 is water. For a better effect and increased yield, you can add 10 drops of iodine to this solution.
• For spraying plants, you can use a more concentrated solution - 1: 3, and for better adhesion to the leaves, add grated laundry soap.

The whey is said to work well as a bait for garden pests.

How to use: fill a third of small containers with a drink, hang them on trees at night, and in the morning harvest the “harvest” from drowned codling moths and leafworms.

Milk whey, the benefits of which for the body are more significant than a protein or egg diet, is successfully used for weight loss. Whey protein indirectly affects weight loss:

• increases the level of the hormone cholecystokinin, which controls appetite;
• increases insulin sensitivity, which leads to a decrease in its level in plasma, which means a decrease in fat in problem areas;
• it is easily absorbed by the body, causing it to burn fat rather than glucose during exercise;
• contains the amino acid tryptophan, a serotonin precursor that suppresses hunger;
• reduces the level of the hormone cortisol, the culprit of depression, when women try to seize stress with products that are harmful to the figure.

Whey for weight loss contains glutathione and this is its essential benefit. The antioxidant cleanses the liver of toxins, heavy metals and drugs. It has numerous other properties, but its main role is to detoxify the liver.

Another useful component for weight loss is calcium, which affects energy metabolism and helps regulate lipid metabolism in fat cells. It also prevents the appearance of cellulite.

The substance contributes to the fastest recovery from the harmful effects of alcohol, toxins, viruses, and drugs. And also it has a positive effect on the amount of cholesterol in the blood and fatty acids, normalizing the heart rate in case of its failure and the synthesis of insulin.

Without nicotinic acid, which is also present in whey, incoming food cannot be converted into energy. This element is “engaged” in the processing of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, lowering the amount of bad cholesterol, removing toxins from the body and speeding up metabolism.
