Surely you have tried whey before. Do you know about the beneficial properties of this interesting product? On the agenda is whey, benefits and harms, dosage, how to store and make it yourself. We are sure that many interesting discoveries await you.

What is whey?

Milk contains two proteins: casein and whey protein. It's easy to separate one from the other. You need to strain the curdled milk. The resulting opaque greenish liquid after filtering will be whey.

There are sweet and sour varieties. The first is obtained in the production of hard cheeses, the second - after fermented milk products (cottage cheese, feta cheese and yogurt).

Many people know that cow's milk is a poor alternative to woman's milk when breastfeeding. One of the determining factors is the ratio between casein and whey protein.

Protein cow's milk consists of 80% casein. A woman's milk contains only 40% casein and as much as 60% whey protein. His body accepts it much better. This is precisely the main advantage of our heroine for consumption.

Composition and calorie content

What nutrients is whey rich in? The answer is clearly presented below. Vitamins and minerals are indicated per 100 grams of product.

Calorie content, kcal - 24 - 1%
Water, g - 93.4
Proteins, g - 0.8 - 2%
Fats, g - 0.1
Carbohydrates (lactose), g - 5.1 - 2%

Vitamins (descending)

Vitamin B2 - 8%
Vitamin B5 - 4%
Vitamin B12 - 3%
Vitamin B1 - 3%
Vitamin B6 - 2%

As you can see, there are no outstanding concentrations. But how many representatives of group B!

For 1 glass - the usual dose - there will be 2 times more of them.

Minerals (descending)

Calcium - 10%
Phosphorus - 8%
Potassium - 4%
Zinc - 3%
Selenium - 3%
Magnesium - 2%
Sodium - 2%

Calcium, phosphorus and other little things. But these little things are worth their weight in gold. For example, zinc and selenium are needed for the main antioxidant protection in the human body - in addition to vitamins A, C, E.

There is no iodine in the serum. It is unclear where this information on the Internet comes from. In our analysis, we rely on data from the US Department of Agriculture.

Water takes up the lion's share. Therefore, most people use the product to quench their thirst and cold summer soups.

Read how we prepare our favorite summer recipe - kholodnik. Whey can be added as a filling instead of water.

There is another category of drink fans - athletes and bodybuilders. They are interested in getting large doses of protein. Excess water they don't need anything. They prefer a special nutritional supplement - whey protein powder. This is a much-loved supplement in sports nutrition. We will tell you about it soon.

For now, let's return to the composition of the greenish drink.

All B vitamins (as well as phosphorus) are critical for the normal functioning of the nervous system. By the way, the specific shade of the serum is given by vitamin B2 dissolved in it - riboflavin.
Calcium is essential for bones. Just 1 glass of whey per day will provide as much as 20% of the DV in the mineral. For good absorption It is beneficial to accompany it with vitamins D and K, magnesium and phosphorus. Bingo! The last two substances are also present in the serum.

There are many recipes for successful combinations. For example, we prepare a vegetable smoothie for breakfast with greens, banana, kiwi and drink an additional teaspoon fish oil or cod liver oil.

Whey protein: components and properties

It is a mixture of several nutrients that are soluble in water.

65% - beta-lactoglobulin. The thick film that appears on the surface of milk when boiling consists of this substance. Beta-lactoglobulin forms compounds with iron that help the body fight pathogens. Unfortunately, beta-lactoglobulin is completely absent from human milk and therefore causes allergies in some people who are sensitive to it.
25% - alpha-lactalbumin. Compounds of alpha-lactalbumin with calcium and zinc ions have antibacterial and antitumor properties.
8% - bovine serum albumin (BSA). Almost 70% of all proteins contained in the blood are BSA.
2% - immunoglobulins. Natural defenders of the body against bacteria and viruses.

Of course, all these benefits are most pronounced with the concentrated powder.

Benefits and doses

In addition to the bonuses from the described substances, how is fermented milk whey useful?

It contains all the essential amino acids. Its proteins are rich in sulfur and are used by the body to synthesize glutathione. It is one of the body's most important antioxidants and detoxifiers.
Our heroine is an excellent prebiotic. It helps reproduction beneficial microbes in the intestines. If you are bored with kefir and yogurt, try including it in your diet. This way you will support complete and regular bowel cleansing.
The drink quickly quenches thirst and helps compensate for energy losses after training or hard work.
It suppresses acute hunger. Are you going on a diet to lose weight? Don't forget to benefit from this fermented milk drink.
Sometimes you can read that whey lowers blood pressure and protects the heart. There are no solid studies. However, analysis of the available data favors the product. It is useful to use for hypertension and other diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

Whey for weight loss

A pleasant-tasting drink has good potential on a slimming menu.

Although the carbohydrates contained in the drink are entirely lactose (often called “milk sugar”), their mass is small. Glycemic index product - low. The drink contains virtually no fat. This pushes to obvious conclusion. Whey for weight loss, diabetes and pancreatitis is the right choice.
It is logical to drink whey for its unique protein. You can use fasting days for weight loss, where there is a lot of whey. This way we will get protein in a significant amount. For example, add 0.5-1 liter of whey to the “Brush” salad or the famous buckwheat, cottage cheese and apples.
Let us remind you that it is better to select food for fasting individually. Famous recipes have limitations. Apples “without anything” often stimulate appetite, and salad can create discomfort in the intestines if there is no habit of dietary fiber. Therefore, let's study the methods more deeply, taking into account the composition and possible harm.

How much can you drink per day

Medicine does not establish any special doses for taking the serum.

The drink contains a lot of water. By drinking up to 0.8-1 liters per day, you do not risk getting excessive amounts of any substances.

Even if you got carried away and drank even more, there are unlikely to be negative consequences. All that awaits you is copious fluid output and frequent trips to the toilet “in small ways.”

Contraindications and possible harm

For lactose intolerance. As much as 5% of the drink’s weight is milk sugar. If a person has problems digesting carbohydrates, our heroine is harmful.
People with allergies to beta-lactoglobulin. Have you ever felt sick from whole milk? Never drank whey before? Start getting acquainted with minimal volumes.

On the other hand, the drink contains almost no casein. In theory, it can be consumed by those who abstain from this protein. However, it is important to remember that both store-bought and home-prepared products are not a pure sample. There is still some admixture of heavy protein in it.
Whey during pregnancy is a logical choice. And it is much healthier than lemonade, cola and other sweet drinks. At the same time, if you have never had to include our heroine on the menu before, it is better to treat it as a new dairy product. Get to know each other a little and watch the reaction.

Recipes for use in cooking and beauty

The drink under discussion can and should be consumed on its own. But who said that its beneficial properties are limited to this? Let's describe what else you can do with this wonderful product.

Here is a recipe on how to make whey at home.

We buy milk with moderate fat content (2.5-3.2%).
Option No. 1: We use a culture of fermented lactic bacteria, for example, kefir or yogurt.
Option No. 2: We use ready-made yogurt or kefir - with live bacteria, fresh.
We heat the milk to 35-36 degrees Celsius, pour bacterial spores or fermented milk into it - 2-3 tablespoons per liter.
If you have a yogurt maker, 8 hours and you're done. If there is no separate unit, wrap the future sour milk in a fur coat or a warm blanket.
Place a colander on top of a deep bowl. Cover it with several layers of gauze or thin cloth rolled up. Fill with freshly prepared dairy product.
A significant (but not all!) part of the whey will be strained in a few minutes.
If you want to get as much of the drink as possible, you'll have to wait. Tie the corners of the fabric together so that it holds the remaining filtered kefir or yogurt tightly. Cover and let sit overnight.

How to store correctly and for a long time?

The finished drink is best stored in a glass jar. Fill almost to the brim and close tightly. The acidic environment prevents the growth of bacteria. The stock is stored very well in the refrigerator - at least a month, and sometimes much longer.

Whey - k by-product, remaining in the production of cottage cheese and cheese, but already in Ancient Greece it was known and actively used medicinal properties. Hippocrates also discovered the beneficial effects of serum in the treatment of tuberculosis, jaundice, and skin diseases. Later, the serum began to be recommended for rheumatism and kidney stones and bladder. Gradually, this treatment gained more and more popularity; resorts appeared in Europe where serum treatment was carried out; in the foothills of the Alps alone at the end of the 19th century there were more than one and a half hundred of them. They were treated with serum in Russia, as evidenced by the book “ Summary method of treatment with serums with a description of a serum-therapeutic establishment in St. Petersburg,” published in 1849. Whey contains almost all the compounds that have been established to date in milk. The biological value of whey is determined by the protein nitrogen compounds, carbohydrates, vitamins, and microelements it contains. Whey proteins can rightfully be classified as complete proteins used by the body for structural metabolism.

The mineral composition of whey is very diverse - all the essential amino acids and vital carbohydrate-containing compounds of milk pass into it. It also contains antibiotic and protein substances that are close to blood proteins, and therefore some of their fractions have immune properties.

In general, whey in terms of the set and absolute content of vitamins is biologically a complete product. Moreover energy value whey is significantly lower than that of milk, and the biological value is approximately the same, which makes it possible to use it in diets. Moreover, whey proteins contain more essential amino acids than milk casein, and are complete proteins that are used by the body for structural metabolism, mainly for the synthesis of liver proteins, the formation of hemoglobin and blood plasma.

The composition of whey proteins is more consistent with the composition of human milk proteins than the composition of cow's milk proteins, which allows the use of whey proteins in the production of children's dairy products. A feature of whey milk fat is its higher degree of dispersion than in milk, which has a positive effect on its digestibility.

removes excess fluid from the body, promoting optimal removal of waste and toxins

helps with rheumatism, hypertension, improves blood circulation and prevents the development of atherosclerosis

reduces inflammatory processes on the skin, mucous membranes, stomach and intestines

has a calming effect on the nervous system.

The serum helps treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys, such as chronic gastritis, pancreatitis, enteritis, enterocolitis, intestines, chronic constipation, pyelonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis. And diseases of the cardiovascular system: coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, post-infarction cardiosclerosis, hypertonic disease. Cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral atherosclerosis and disorders cerebral circulation. Diabetes mellitus and diseases of the female genital area can be treated with serum.
