Introduction: Milk contains two hypnotic substances unknown in the past. Due to their effects, often just a glass of milk is enough to make a person fall asleep. Therefore, drinking milk in the morning will inevitably affect daytime work and study. However, recently many professionals have pointed out that drinking milk at night can easily lead to "heatiness," which is actually detrimental to sleep. Instead, they advocate drinking milk in the morning.
Everyone knows that drinking milk is good, but there are many considerations when it comes to drinking milk. If consumed improperly, milk not only fails to benefit the body but may also cause some harm:
1. Do not drink raw milk. Drink pasteurized milk after high-temperature heating to prevent illness from being ingested.
2. Some people are accustomed to drinking milk on an empty stomach, which is unscientific. Because when the stomach is empty, intestinal peristalsis is very fast. Moreover, the protein in the milk consumed at this time will be quickly converted into energy and consumed. The nutrients in the milk have no time to be digested and absorbed before being excreted into the large intestine, resulting in无形 waste. It is best to eat something before drinking milk or drink it while eating food.
3. 80% of the protein in milk is casein. When the pH of milk is below 4.6, a large amount of casein will coagulate and precipitate, making it difficult to digest and absorb. In severe cases, it may even lead to indigestion or diarrhea. Therefore, acidic beverages such as juice should not be added to milk.
4. Some people like to use milk instead of plain water to take medicine. In fact, milk significantly affects the body's absorption of drugs. Milk can easily form a covering film on the surface of the drug, causing the calcium, magnesium and other minerals in the milk to react chemically with the drug to form water-insoluble substances, thereby affecting the release and absorption of the drug's efficacy. Do not drink milk for 1 hour before or after taking medication.
5. It is not advisable to drink too much cold milk, because cold milk can affect gastrointestinal function, causing mild diarrhea, and most of the nutrients in the milk cannot be absorbed and utilized by the body.
Currently, there is still some controversy about whether drinking milk for breakfast is good or bad. However, most office workers have the habit of drinking milk in the morning. How to pair it with food to make milk more beneficial to our health is particularly important.
