3 Health Benefits That Come From Drinking Egg Nog

eggnog benefits

Hey, before you decide whether to buy eggnog this season, it is important to know some of the beneficial factors it can have on your body. Eggnog can help people with most ailments, including prostate cancer, because of the nutritional value of consuming eggs.

Stick around as we plan to tell you how eggnog is made and how consuming raw eggs can impact your body. After reading this article, you will have an excuse for drinking that second glass of eggnog.

What is Egg Nog?

First off, let’s go over what is in eggnog and why it can benefit you. As you may have guessed, most homemade eggnog’s main ingredient is eggs. In fact, you will be hard-pressed to find any eggnog recipe that does not have that primary constituent.

Unfortunately, those who are lactose intolerant may not be able to get past the resulting abdominal pains to reap the benefits of drinking it. Speaking of those benefits, eggnog contains numerous vitamins and minerals, a healthy dose of protein, and anti-inflammatory elements.

Vitamins and Minerals

The vitamins and minerals in eggnog that are of high importance are:

  • Vitamin A 
  • B12 
  • B2 
  • Iron
  • Potassium
  • Calcium

It has roughly 400 mg of potassium and nearly one-third of the calcium you need daily. Many of you may know that B12 is responsible for creating red blood cells, which can significantly boost your stamina. 

That doesn’t mean you can drink an entire bottle of eggnog and then go outside and dominate a pickup game of football, but it definitely will not hurt. Add that to those other crucial elements, such as potassium for fluid levels and calcium for bone health, and egg nog drinks are the real deal.

Protein

Next up is protein, and one cup of eggnog can give you about 10-12 grams of muscle-building molecules. That is a lot when you compare it to other high-protein sources like chicken or fish, which gives you 1 gram of protein every 2-3 grams.
