Health benefits of dairy products and eggs
Eggshells contain approximately 90% calcium carbonate, an essential mineral for strong bones and teeth. After proper disinfection and crushing, they can be consumed in small quantities as a natural dietary supplement. To do this, boil them for about 5 minutes, dry them in the sun or in the oven, and grind them into a fine powder.
The resulting powder can be added to juices, smoothies, or soups to provide extra calcium. Some studies show that the calcium in eggshells is absorbed as well as that from supplements, making them a natural way to prevent osteoporosis and strengthen bones.
In addition to calcium, the shells also contain traces of magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, minerals that contribute to the proper functioning of the body.
