Milk is a food that contains many nutrients. However, many people still make mistakes in eating and drinking when using milk.
* Drinking too much milk.
No matter how good it is, you should not drink too much milk. You should only use about 600ml of milk per day to avoid nutritional imbalance.
* Drink milk with fruit.
Combining milk with fruits is very easy to create reactions that cause milk to precipitate, causing an imbalance of intestinal microflora, causing you to have abdominal pain, allergies, diarrhea.
The reason is because milk contains 80% casein protein, when drinking milk with fruit, a large amount of casein will accumulate and precipitate in the body, making it difficult for digestion and absorption. Therefore, it is best not to combine milk with fruit.
* Add chocolate to milk.
Milk is a food rich in protein and calcium, while chocolate contains oxalic acid. If these two foods are combined together, they will create insoluble calcium oxalate, affecting the body’s absorption of calcium. In addition, this also causes dry hair, diarrhea.
* Drink milk when hungry.
When drinking milk, the protein in milk through the stomach and digestive tract is broken down into amino acids that are then absorbed. But drinking milk on an empty stomach will cause protein not to be broken down into amino acids. This amino acid component in the small intestine is not absorbed and pushed into the colon to form toxic compounds.
Therefore, you should not drink milk in the early morning, especially on an empty stomach. Only drink milk after breakfast about 1 hour.
* Drink milk with medicine.
This is a wrong thing to do because drinking milk with drugs will affect the absorption of active ingredients in the drug by the body. In addition, substances such as calcium, magnesium and other minerals in milk that meet the ingredients of the drug also create insoluble substances, reduce the effectiveness of the drug, and even cause harm to the patient. body. So you should drink milk before or after taking the medicine about 1 hour.
* Drink milk after eating seafood.
Combining milk and seafood can cause digestive disorders and diarrhea. Besides, these two foods contain a lot of calcium, so when eaten together, it will be difficult for the body to absorb all the calcium loaded, easily causing kidney stones.
