How do you prefer the egg in the morning? Scrambled, fried or cooked? Eggs with or without shell? If you are Arnold Schwarzenegger surely you prefer eggs in shell.
During an interview with Men’s Health, Arnold Schwarzenegger showed that it is exactly what his protein shake contains, which he drinks daily and we found some amazing ingredients.
EGG SHELL ON YOUR NEXT PROTEIN SHAKE?
One of the strangest ingredients in Arnold’s protein shake is definitely the eggshells.
Seriously, seven times Mr. Olympia, muscular deity and bodybuilder who also challenges the passage of time, combines an egg – literally – whole in his protein shake.
When we say whole, we say it literally and it is not that it has become senile. Actually, there is a great reason to support this trick.
THE SECRET OF EGG SHELLS
Egg shells contain calcium carbonate, protein and other minerals that help the immune system.
Historically, chicken eggshell powder was used as a natural calcium supplement since it contains up to 40% calcium per egg and with only half a shell provides you with enough calcium for your daily consumption.
In addition to this it is thought that regular portions of eggshell powder may improve bone strength in patients with osteoporosis.
THERE’S STILL MORE
The shell membrane can also benefit the health of your joints. This “film” is between the eggshell and the white and consists mainly of proteins in the form of collagen, which can potentially support and benefit your joints.
So, it seems that Arnold’s nutritional trick , although somewhat confusing and rare, is very intelligent.
As he explains it is part of a broader review of his nutrition and health approach. “I am aware of health, but I was not always because when I was young, I used to get mine in many things,” he explains.
“Now, I eat more oatmeal, vegetables and vegetables. I stay away from meat, animal products and proteins and I feel much better, ”concludes the legend.
