Milk is rich in calcium, protein, vitamin D and other nutrients, is a kind of drink for all ages. However, many people drink milk and did not drink right, not only a big loss of nutrition, and even the risk of disease. So, what are the daily habits of drinking milk is wrong? We can be on the list, to avoid the factors harmful to our health.

Drinking milk as water has the risk of causing disease

Drinking less milk can't work, drinking more has the same negative consequences.

The protein content of milk is generally 3%-4%, the fat content is 3%-5%, the sugar content is about 5%, and the calcium content is about 1%.

Drinking milk as water means a high-fat, high-energy diet. Drinking 4 bottles of milk (250 grams per bottle) will allow you to consume 30-50 grams of fat!

Moreover, half of the fat contained in milk is saturated fatty acids, most of the current people have already consumed a lot of saturated fatty acids from meat foods, if the diet excessive intake of saturated fatty acids, can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Milk delivery of drugs or reduce the effectiveness of drugs

In life, some people often randomly pick up the drink on hand to send drugs, and some children are afraid of medicine bitter, will take milk to send.

Delivery of drugs is best to use water, not recommended to use milk, otherwise not only reduce the effectiveness of the drug, but also may cause harm to the body.

Because milk is rich in calcium and magnesium and other minerals, may be chemically reactive with drugs, such as with antibacterial drugs quinolones (so-and-so salvia), metronidazole, etc., the formation of insoluble chelates, but also affect the absorption of iron, zinc, and other supplements; milk contains lactose, diarrhea, drink milk may aggravate the symptoms; milk is rich in proteins, can be calcium gluconate, aluminum hydroxide and other calcium, aluminum preparations, the formation of clots ......

In short, there are a lot of drugs can not be served with milk, the specifics of different drugs to read the instructions and follow the doctor's advice.

Drinking milk or aggravate esophageal reflux

Some patients with reflux esophagitis often spit acid water, hoping to drink milk to achieve the purpose of stomach.

In fact, for some patients, drinking milk during the onset of the disease may lead to an increase in stomach acid and aggravate the phenomenon of esophageal reflux.

Therefore, those who suffer from peptic ulcer or GERD should not drink too much milk. If your doctor confirms that your current condition allows you to drink a little milk in moderation, drink the milk in small amounts and in small portions, and do not drink cold milk.

Lactose intolerant people are more likely to have diarrhea if they drink milk on an empty stomach.

Lactose in milk needs to be broken down by lactase, if the lactase enzyme in the body is not active enough, the lactose decomposition is incomplete, and after entering the colon, it is metabolized and fermented by bacteria such as Escherichia coli, which produces acid, gas, and can even lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other discomforts.

About two-thirds of the adults in our country lack lactase. Drinking milk on an empty stomach, or drinking a large amount of milk at one time, it is relatively easier to produce abdominal distension and diarrhea.

After drinking milk on an empty stomach, milk passes through the gastrointestinal tract faster, resulting in a slight decrease in absorption efficiency. Therefore, drink milk with some solid food.

Recommended daily intake of 300-500 grams of milk for adults Drinking milk remember "1 +1"

The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend that adults drink 300-500 grams of dairy products per day.

Drinking milk, you can remember "1 + 1", such as a box of milk in the morning and a box of milk at night (250 ml box), or a box of milk in the morning and a box of low-sugar yogurt in the afternoon or evening.

For those who have bloating and diarrhea after drinking a carton of milk (250 ml), it is recommended to use the principle of small amounts of multiple meals, 250 ml of milk in two or more times, and if you still can't tolerate it, you can try to choose lactose-removed powdered milk or diastatic milk.
