In the new year, have you drinking the right milk?
Avoid prolonged cooking
For healthy people, drinking milk at room temperature is enough.
If you have the habit of drinking hot milk, you can warm it by soaking it in warm water
or heating it with a heater.
Because when milk is heated above 70 degrees, some of the proteins and vitamins in it
will denature and precipitate, which will cause a waste of nutrients to a certain extent.
The "milk skin" that appears after we heat milk is actually one of the manifestations of
protein denaturation.
Don't drink ice milk
Milk should not be stored frozen, because freezing will denature the protein in the milk and
stratify the fat. After thawing, the protein and fat will precipitate and solidify, which is not
conducive to the absorption of the human body and will also greatly reduce the value of
the milk. Therefore, ordinary milk should be stored away from light and at room temperature.
Don't crave hot drinks or ice-cold fresh milk
Don’t use milk to deliver medicine
Nutrients such as protein and calcium contained in milk can combine with some metal ions
in the drug, which may affect the release of drug efficacy, or may cause poisoning reactions.
Recommendation: Do not drink milk within 1 to 2 hours before and after taking the medicine,
let alone use milk to deliver the medicine.
Don't drink milk as water
Milk can provide the human body with high-quality protein and calcium, but at the same time
the fat content is not low. If consumed in excess, it will cause excess energy.
In addition, excessive protein intake will increase the burden on the kidneys and other organs.
Even people in Western countries who drink a lot of milk have a higher incidence of kidney stones.
Don’t always drink skim milk
For most people, whole milk is better in terms of nutrition and taste. Skimmed milk removes
the fat in milk and also removes some fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, and E.
It is only suitable for the needs of some people, such as those who lose weight and those
with cardiovascular disease who need to control blood lipids.
Don’t drink hard if you are lactose intolerant
People who are lactose intolerant may experience bloating after drinking milk, and may
even experience diarrhea if they drink too much. In this case, you can choose to start with
a small amount, drink 50 ml or 100 ml a day, and then gradually increase the amount as
you get used to it. Or choosing some special milk products can also relieve discomfort,
such as low-lactose milk. If the symptoms are really severe, replacing milk with yogurt
can effectively avoid this situation.
