“May your foods be your medicines” – Hippocrates
For those who have high blood pressure and would do anything to bring it down to normal, Yogurt Whey, will do it for you!
If you can’t afford to buy the packaged Whey, you can always make it yourself at home. I posted the instructions on how to make Whey in this article. Very easy to make but first:
What is Whey and what are the benefits?
Whey is a natural substance, the liquid part of fresh milk that is left over from the making of cheese, or sitting on top of your yogurt and has been used for health related reasons for more than 24 centuries. Hippocrates (446-337 BC), the father of medicine, prescribed it to his patients. Following him, Galen (131 BC-200BC), another founding father of medicine, advised his patients to use whey. Since then, it has been a recommended substance for improving health in many different regions of the world.
Yogurt whey because of its high content of Protein and 19 essential Amino Acids, been always used in traditional medicine for 24 centuries:
– To lower the blood pressure
– To increase the immune system
– To lose weight
– To heal the digestion ailments
In 1749, a patient, who could not be cured by his doctors, went to the Swiss mountain village of Gais where he was healed by drinking whey on a daily basis. Word spread and people flocked to Gais to benefit from the miraculous properties of whey protein. A health spa was soon opened in this tiny village, followed by more than 160 spas across Switzerland, Austria and Germany. These spas were most active throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, catering to emperors and aristocrats from all across Europe.
Much of the whey available in packaged form today is adulterated and chemically treated, and has lost its healing properties.
The Organic Whey contains no additives, dyes, preservatives, heavy metals or natural flavors, and is the purest form of whey available to you and your family. Find 100% pure Organic Whey here on our blog.
How to make Whey at home?
Line a fine mesh sieve with cheese cloth, and set it over a large bowl. Pour the yoghurt into the lined sieve, and let it drain over the bowl.
I drained 3 hours (in the fridge) to reduce the liquid by 50%. I was left with 1 liter of whey, and 1 liter of thick yoghurt. You may let the yogurt drained for more hours if you like to get more Whey out of the yogurt.
Scoop the yogurt into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to one week.
Drink the liquid Whey everyday for 1-2 weeks. At the same time, keep an eye on your blood pressure and monitor the changes. You won’t regret the result.
