Drink a glass in the morning to kickstart a full day of energy; drink a glass before bed for a sweeter sleep. As a recognized nutritional beverage, milk has become a part of many people's healthy lifestyles.
The best times to drink milk:
1. Evening
Actually, drinking milk in the evening is the best. Because milk contains tryptophan, a biochemical substance that induces sleep, as well as trace amounts of morphine-like substances, all of which have excellent sedative and hypnotic effects, effectively promoting sleep and improving sleep quality.
Seniors and young people under a lot of work stress often experience insomnia. In such cases, they should drink some milk in the evening, as it can greatly improve insomnia, and the calcium in it can also help alleviate nervous tension.
2. Before Bed
Drinking milk before sleep is also very suitable, as it not only improves sleep quality but also has a great effect on supplementing calcium. This is because after falling asleep, the level of calcium in the blood gradually decreases. A drop in blood calcium promotes hypersecretion of the parathyroid gland, and under the influence of this hormone, a portion of calcium salts from bone tissue dissolves into the blood to maintain stable blood calcium levels. The calcium in milk, however, is absorbed slowly by the blood, ensuring that blood calcium is fully replenished throughout the night, and calcium from the bones will not be dissolved, thus helping to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis.
