Eggshells are a rich source of minerals, predominantly calcium, which makes up 90% of the composition of eggshells. Other minerals that are found in significant proportions in eggshells are zinc, iron, copper, manganese, phosphorus, fluorine, chlorine and molybdenum.
Consumed regularly, calcium prevents osteoporosis, increases the number of blood cells in the bone marrow and helps lower cholesterol. Consumption of eggshells is recommended to provide the body with calcium and prevent the deficiency of this vital mineral. The recommended daily dose is 1.5-3 g crushed eggshells. Here are the main benefits of eggshells.
They strengthen the body and cleanse the blood
To this end, use eggshells as follows: wash well 5 eggs, crush their shells and pour 3 liters of water over the shells. Keep the dish in the refrigerator for a week, after which you can start to consume 2-3 glasses of the water daily. The taste can be improved by adding lemon juice.
They improve the functioning of the thyroid gland
Wash 8 eggs thoroughly and crush their shells. Pour the juice of two lemons over the crushed shells and allow them to soak in the refrigerator for several days. When the crushed shells are soaked well, strain the liquid and mix it with 1 liter of alcohol and 1 kilogram of honey. Ripen the mixture for one week before use. Consume a teaspoon after each meal.
They soothe the symptoms of gastritis and ulcer
Crush the shells of three eggs. Take a pinch of the powdered shells and mix with two tablespoons of lemon juice. Leave the mixture in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, until the eggshells are well softened, and then mix them with 100 ml hot milk. Consume this preparation twice daily – in the morning on an empty stomach, and then at bedtime.
