Milk should be drunk properly, and soy milk should be consumed in moderation
Experts from Qilu Hospital have pointed out that improper consumption of milk can easily lead to the loss of nutrients or cause physical discomfort. Meanwhile, soy milk should not be consumed in excess, as its metabolic byproducts can increase the burden on the kidneys. Patients with gastritis, renal failure, and children should drink it sparingly or not at all. Residual fiber in soy milk can interfere with absorption, making its nutritional absorption less effective than that of milk.
According to a journalist's understanding, the best time to drink milk should be chosen. Morning energy supply accounts for 25% to 30% of the total daily energy demand, so it is better to have a glass of milk with an egg or bread for breakfast. It can also be consumed around 4 p.m. as a pre-dinner drink. Additionally, drinking a glass of milk before bedtime can help with sleep, and it is best to have a few cookies with it.
Experts believe that milk should not be consumed on an empty stomach, and milk with eggs is the best breakfast combination. Drinking milk on an empty stomach in the morning has many drawbacks. Because the stomach is empty, the milk cannot be fully digested by enzymes, and its nutrients cannot be well digested and absorbed. Some people may even experience abdominal pain or diarrhea as a result.
