The benefits of drinking milk

Nowadays, many people drink some milk every day. Even so, probably many people still don't quite understand the benefits of drinking milk every day! Generally everyone will choose to drink milk for breakfast. Is it the healthiest time to drink milk now? Let's take a look together.

Some experts say that milk is harmful to health. Others say it is the most nutritious food you have found. Let's combine all the statements to see if we should drink milk.

As a nutritionist, I found that most people who want to lose weight or gain weight like to drink milk. Therefore, in order to ensure that milk is harmless to the human body, I have studied all the arguments against drinking milk, and at the same time, I have critically examined the propaganda advocating the efficacy of milk. After all, I only care about the health of my clients. The following is my response to the customer's milk problem:

1. Can milk really burn fat?

Researchers at the University of Tennessee found that obese people who eat three servings of dairy products rich in calcium a day can lose more abdominal fat than those who eat only one or less dairy products. In addition, the researchers found that calcium supplementation is actually not as effective as drinking milk. Why? They believe that because calcium can increase the speed of fat burning, other active compounds (such as milk protein) can provide additional fat burning effect. Of course, the key to success in losing weight is to strictly implement a healthy eating plan. After all, there is no way to lose weight by eating one box of doughnuts less every day.

2. Can you grow muscles by drinking milk?

Of course. In fact, milk is the best food on earth that can help muscle growth. Because protein in milk is about 80% whey and 20% casein. Both are high-quality protein, but whey is called "fast protein" because it is quickly broken down into amino acids and absorbed into the blood. Relatively speaking, casein is absorbed slowly, so it is very suitable to provide your body with a stable small amount of protein for a long time-for example, between meals or during sleep. Because milk contains whey and casein, drinking a large glass of milk can give you a very good protein for strengthening muscles.

3. Does hormone intake in dairy cows make milk unhealthy?

The answer is no, unless milk is injected into your body.

This is a true story: 1993, the Food and Drug Administration approved the injection of recombinant growth hormone (rBGH) into cattle. For dairy farmers, this action has increased milk production while reducing costs, and dairy farmers can make a lot of money from local supermarkets. However, this has also caused great controversy, because rBGH accelerates the coagulation of insulin-like production factor (IGF), which is considered to be related to cancer.

Unlike steroid hormones, rBGH and IGF must be injected into the blood to have an effect, while steroid hormones can be taken orally directly. Because these two "protein" hormones will be destroyed during digestion. Therefore, drinking milk from cows injected with hormones will not bring those harmful chemicals into your body. However, for moral reasons, hormone injection is not a good thing for cows. Canadian researchers have found that cows injected with hormones are more likely to suffer from mastitis.

4. What about antibiotics?

No one can really answer. Some scientists believe that milk produced by cows injected with antibiotics will make people resistant to antibiotics, and when you need to inject such drugs, it will weaken the efficacy. However, this statement has not been confirmed. If you feel uneasy about milk, you can go to the grocery store to buy some milk without antibiotics, or you can choose organic milk certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, which is available in most supermarkets.

5. Defatted or full fat

It all depends on your taste. Many times we are told to drink skim milk, but most scientific studies show that drinking whole milk can improve the cholesterol content of the body, but the effect is not as good as skim milk. Recently, an exception occurred: Danish researchers found that people who drink whole milk will increase LDL cholesterol. However, it is worth noting that these people drink six glasses of 8 ounces of whole milk every day, which is an unusually large amount. Even so, triglycerides, another major cause of heart disease, have dropped by 22%.

To sum up: drinking 2-3 cups of milk every day, whether it is 2% skim or full fat, will reduce the possibility of heart disease or stroke-this finding has also been confirmed by British scientists.

Drinking milk has become an important nutritional part of people's breakfast, because milk contains many beneficial things, which can effectively supplement the nutrition needed by the body. So what are the benefits of drinking milk? Then let me tell you the benefits of drinking milk. In order to be healthy, how can we make Yanghe milk healthier? Let's take a look together.

1, zi fu mian

Can effectively help the body to supplement nutrition, especially when it is hot, many people have no appetite, and if they don't eat, it is likely to affect the quality of sleep. Drinking more milk at this time will solve the problem.

Milk contains many nutrients needed by human body, such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and other trace elements, as well as vitamins A and B. In addition, data show that people sweat a lot in summer, which leads to calcium loss in the body. Drinking milk is a good way for people to supplement calcium.

2, gastrointestinal function department

In addition, the carbohydrate in milk is mainly lactose. Lactose can regulate gastric acid, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive gland secretion, promote the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria, and be beneficial to the activity and reproduction of normal intestinal flora.

3. High sleep quality

We should all know that it is difficult to sleep in hot weather. If we drink a cup of warm milk with honey before going to bed at this time, it can effectively make people fall asleep and effectively improve the quality of sleep.
