Whey and Whey-Drinks

A fresh look at whe
Whey, also called milk serum (serum lactis), is obtained when the casein is removed from the milk during cheese production, and the curds are produced. Whey is yellowish-green watery liquid.

• Whey is rich in nutritional salts and natural lactose
• Whey contains a great many vitamins and minerals
• Whey contains less than 1% fat
• Whey only has around 68 kcal per 250 ml of ready-prepared drink
• Whey contains top quality natural protein
• Whey is a nutritious food supplement (See analysis for precise composition)

What effects does whey have on our bodies?
Whey affects the metabolic system and has a particular effect on the intestines and intestinal functions. Thanks to the lactose and lactic acid content in the whey, the lower intestine becomes slightly acidic. The living conditions for friendly bacteria are thereby improved. The result is lower levels of harmful bacteria produced by decomposition which could reach the liver via the intestines. This detoxifies the liver, shortens the time in which material passes through the intestines, and aids bowel evacuation.

Whey is able to flush out and cleanse the body tissue, which means that any deposits are cleared and can be passed out. The body is able to function properly once more, the blood can flow more easily through the capillaries, and pressure on the heart is relieved, reducing blood pressure.

Surplus fat accumulations and any acidic deposits in the body tissue are also removed.

Here's a summary of the benefits of whey

• Whey stimulates the metabolism
• Whey reduces acidity and cleanses body tissue
• Whey purifies the body and helps control excess weight
• Whey aids proper liver function

• Whey has a stimulant effect on gall secretions and pancreas function
• Whey is an ideal electrolyte and mineral drink
• Whey improves potassium and calcium levels
• Whey reduces cholesterol levels
• Whey has a calming effect on the nervous system
• Whey helps reduce cellulite
• Whey improves bowel flora
• Whey helps reduce blood pressure
• Whey can help prevent osteoporosis

All this means that whey is the ideal diet and nutritional food for those suffering from obesity, oedemas, excess stomach acid, stomach ulcers, liver and gall problems, from chronic constipation, kidney problems, heart and circulation problems, high cholesterol, inflammations of the skin and the digestive tract, as well as from problems with rheumatic circulation.

Whey has no known side effects. With a few people, diarrhoea has been a problem, but this was corrected immediately by reducing the amount of whey consumed.

Whey Drink
The water is removed from the whey using a vacuum spray-drying process and processed into a powder. Turning the whey into powder is the most natural way of preserving the whey, as well as the only way in which the natural acid levels of the whey are retained. Fruit is also processed and turned into powder using a freeze-drying process and added to the whey as flavouring. Whey powder in this form has a long shelf-life (around 2 years). The powder can be mixed with water at any time to produce a delicious drink.

Whey powder is available in the following flavours:

Natural (no fruit added), apple, banana, grapefruit, raspberry, cherry, peach, passionfruit, blackcurrant, lemon, vanilla, and chocolate.

Bodycare Products of Whey

Whey as a beauty aid
A protective acid mantle is essential for healthy skin.

The lactic acid in whey reinforces the skin's acid mantle and therefore helps protect against chemicals and bacteria. The lactic acids occurring in the whey have the same structure as the lactic acids produced in the human body. This means that whey can help the body to heal itself, and can also be tolerated by sensitive skin types which may have allergic tendencies.

Whey baths
Thanks to the lactic acids, a bath in whey has a rehydrating effect and can help protect against inflammation. As it reinforces the skin's protective acid mantle, it increases the skin's natural protection system.

Rinses or baths in whey are particularly recommended for those suffering from skin irritations, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections in the feet or nails and fungal infections in the genital area. Fresh whey treatment showers with essential oils and Alpine herbs are also very effective.

Bodycare using whey

Bodycare products based on whey help keep the skin healthy thanks to the lactic acid. The skin's natural state is preserved and protected, the pH value is regulated, and the proper level of skin humidity is maintained.

Whey bodycare products are particularly useful for tired, dull-looking skin.

Excellent bodycare with no added chemicals or colorants, and not tested on animals.

How you can drinking whey? - Recommendations

Whey drinks - so easy on your stomach
You can enjoy whey at any time. If you do not have a specific goal in mind, but just like it because it is so easy to digest, you can of course enjoy it at any time, though traditionally the best time has always been with breakfast, or during the morning.

Experience the benefits of whey - without making major changes to your diet
For a more noticeable effect, proceed as follows: drink 3 or 4 glasses of whey in the morning following a light breakfast, or even on an empty stomach. Drink each glass at intervals of 20-30 minutes or over the entire morning. Spend the rest of the day ensuring you have a sensible and healthy diet.

Whey as a snack between meals

Break the habit of eating sugary food - and shed those pounds!

If you want to break the habit of snacking between meals and maybe in the process lose some of those rolls of fat, the answer is simple: eat three meals a day and drink nothing but whey between meals:

• 6am breakfast
• 8-10.30am whey drinks - as many as you like
• 12pm lunch
• 2-5pm whey drinks
• 6pm a light supper

Sweet whey is satisfying, tastes refreshing and can help you to banish sugar-containing foods from your diet. With a sensible wholefood diet, you will shed pounds. Make sure you leave enough time before and after main meal times. No solid food should be eaten one hour before and after consuming a whey drink. Sweet whey powders with natural fruit sugar are ideal as a substitute sweetener.
