4hw.org: drinking milk in the morning is the most nutritious healthy breakfast for many people. Not only is the nutrition in place, but also can make the whole day full of energy. However, some people think that drinking milk on an empty stomach will not only affect the absorption of stomach and intestines, but also may cause diarrhea. How about drinking milk on an empty stomach? What are the taboos of drinking milk? Let's have a look!
Can you drink milk on an empty stomach? You can drink!
Some people think that the reason why we can't drink milk on an empty stomach is that drinking milk on an empty stomach is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea. This may seem reasonable, but it's also wrong, because it's not when you drink a glass of milk on an empty stomach that causes diarrhea, but because you're 'lactose intolerant'. Generally, milk contains lactose, and lactase secreted by human body will decompose lactose. If some people lack lactase, lactose will not be easily digested after drinking milk, resulting in abdominal distention, diarrhea, fart and other problems.
If a person is growing up without dairy products, it is easy to reduce the ability to digest lactose, and then gradually appear 'lactose intolerance'. Therefore, whether you can drink milk on an empty stomach is totally different from each other. If you don't have any discomfort when you drink milk on an empty stomach, you can drink it at will. However, if you have any discomfort, it is recommended to drink a small amount of milk slowly to adapt. You can also choose to drink milk without lactose.
There are four fatal mistakes in drinking milk. You must pay attention to them!
Myth 1: drink milk as water
In milk, 70% of the ingredients are water, but this does not mean that milk can be drunk as water, because in some whole milk, animal fat and saturated fatty acids will have some adverse effects on human health. It is generally recommended that the amount of milk consumed by adults every day should be controlled between 200ml and 300ml.
Myth 2: drinking more milk will make you fat
Although milk is rich in nutrition, it doesn't mean that you will get fat if you drink milk. Most of the ingredients in milk are water. 250g whole milk has only 150 kcal of calories, which is not as high as a can of coke. Therefore, as long as you control the amount of milk you drink, you don't have to worry about getting fat.
Myth 3: high calcium milk is the best calcium supplement
Generally speaking, every 100ml of ordinary milk contains 110mg of calcium, while every 100ml of high calcium milk contains 130mg of calcium, of which 30mg is more than that of artificial calcium lactate. The absorption of these inorganic calcium by human body is not high.
Myth 4: taking medicine with milk
The best way to take medicine is to use boiled water. If you take medicine with milk, the microelements contained in milk may react with the medicine, affect the efficacy and be harmful to your health.
