Egg whites are a convenient source of protein but when consumed raw, may have adverse effects on our body. Firstly, they contain an enzyme called avidin, which blocks your body's ability to absorb the vitamin biotin. Secondly, if the hen that laid the egg is infected with salmonella, chances are the egg will also be contaminated. Cooked egg whites, on the other hand, are safe, but for a busy person such as me, a hassle to prepare.
Liquid egg whites are the perfect cross between the cooked and raw. They are in liquid form so they are as convenient as raw egg whites but they are pasteurized as well so they are as clean and safe as cooked ones. But the best thing about them is that they have the exact same protein content as their raw and cooked counterparts, which means that they share the same health benefits as well.
More Muscles
We all know that egg whites are the ultimate source of all-natural top-grade protein, which is why they are a part of many bodybuilders' diet. This kind of protein has a very high digestibility rating, which means that whenever you eat egg whites, very little of its protein content goes to waste. This ultimately makes more protein available to your body for muscle development and repair. But the benefits do not end there; this type of protein is also able to raise the biological value of other food sources by supplying them with essential amino acids.
A better fighting chance against illnesses and injuries
Protein is so essential for your body not just because it is a muscle builder. Protein also helps keep your immune system working properly. This means that it helps you fight off different kinds of diseases and, if ever you get infected, it will also allow your body to recover faster.
The same goes with injuries. Got sidelined due to one? Protein will help you with that as well. It is not just a post-workout muscle healer, protein is also in charge of repairing your nails, skin, cartilage and hair.
Healthy heart, better vitality
Liquid egg whites are not only safe because they are free from salmonella and avidin. They are also heart-friendly because they contain absolutely no fat and cholesterol€"things that cause a host of life threatening medical conditions such as heart diseases and high blood pressure. Now, that is some serious good food.
