Already Cleopatra has sworn allegedly on the miracle cure, now it celebrates a comeback as a trend drink: whey. An all-rounder that’s supposed to make you lean, beautiful and healthy – click on the video and see what makes whey so special!

What is whey?

Whey does not look very appealing with its greenish color, yet athletes and nutrition experts swear by the watery drink. Like buttermilk, whey is actually a waste product that results from the processing of milk. It is virtually the product that settles after thickening the milk from the clotted protein. 

Pure whey spoils quite quickly, within two hours, which is why it is usually offered in the trade as a pasteurized drink, powder or in various flavors.

Vitamin bomb helps with weight loss

Whey bars in the US have recently discovered whey as a trend drink: “Smith Canteen” in Brooklyn mixes it with a ginger-cucumber-mint drink, the “Bar Tartine” in San Francisco has launched a cookbook with whey recipes. 

Why it is like that? Whey is a true calorie killer. The by-product of milk consists of 94 percent water and is therefore low in fat and low in calories. At the same time, all the important nutrients of the milk remain, which is why it is rich in calcium, iron and B, C and E vitamins. Whey boosts the metabolism and builds up muscle mass thanks to its high amino acid content. In general, the more muscle we have, the higher our calorie consumption.

Trend drink with health effect

The protein contained in the whey is rich in beta-glucans and immunoglobulin, which protect our immune system and support natural body detoxification. In addition, the contained vitamin B2 fuels the carbohydrate metabolism, which in turn detoxifies and inhibits inflammation. 

With whey in powder form you can just cook, bake or mix smoothies. A glass of whey before breakfast – and your metabolism gets up quickly.

Whey as an anti-aging agent

As mentioned above, Kleopatra is said to have been based on whey, as it should provide for beautiful skin. And indeed: The milk waste product is an anti-aging weapon for skin, nails and hair. The reasons: Antioxidants slow down the formation of wrinkles, lactic acids remove dead skin cells, calcium has an anti-cellulite effect and proteins provide cell renewal. 

If you drink a whey drink every day, you will probably soon have silky-shiny hair, firm, healthy nails and a rosy-fresh complexion.
