The nutritional characteristics of milk can meet the needs of the elderly, so the elderly may wish to drink more milk when they are in health care.

People with high cholesterol can also drink more milk in their daily life, because milk contains some ingredients that can effectively inhibit the liver from producing cholesterol, which is very healthy for patients with high cholesterol. In addition, some patients with cardiovascular diseases should drink more milk at ordinary times, and milk is called the "natural enemy" of hypertension. Drinking milk regularly can lower blood pressure, thus reducing the incidence of stroke. Moreover, through research, it is found that drinking milk regularly by the elderly can effectively reduce the chance of heart attack and prevent stroke.

From the benefits of drinking milk, it can also protect the digestive system and effectively promote the healing of ulcer lesions. Experts pointed out that some substances contained in milk can neutralize gastric acid and strengthen the function of the stomach, especially in the recovery and treatment of gastritis.

Taboos for drinking milk
Although milk has many benefits, you should pay attention to the following points when drinking milk:
First, take medicine with milk.
judge
Extreme error
It must be good to take medicine with nutritious things? Children don't want to take medicine and give it to them in milk? These ideas are all wrong. Kong Fancui, pharmacist of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that milk can obviously affect the absorption rate of drugs, the absorption of antibiotics such as tetracycline and oxytetracycline, and the effect of antihypertensive drugs such as hypoglycemic, so it is best not to drink milk within 1-2 hours before and after taking the medicine.
Second, milk and chocolate lead to calcium loss.
judge
There is no conflict, it varies from person to person.
Some people think that protein and calcium contained in milk will combine with oxalic acid in cocoa to form water-insoluble calcium oxalate, which is harmful to human body, but this is not the case. Fan Zhihong said that there is not as much oxalic acid in chocolate as expected. Even if chocolate is eaten alone, it will combine with calcium in the human body. Milk and chocolate can be eaten together as long as they are not eaten in excess. But chocolate is high in calories. If you eat it with milk, people will unconsciously eat more. As long as the amount is controlled, milk and chocolate can become "good partners".
Third, the thicker the milk, the more nutritious it is.
judge
Wrong, the thicker the milk, the better.
Many people think that the thicker the milk, the higher the nutritional value. In order to cater to this kind of psychology of consumers, many merchants artificially add essence, milk powder, thickener and stabilizer to make the taste of milk very fragrant. In fact, the concentration of fresh milk will not make people feel "unpleasant", and formula milk powder also has a strict water-powder ratio when brewing. In daily drinking, it is unnecessary to deliberately add more milk powder, otherwise the lactose content will exceed the standard, which will increase the burden on organs and cause diarrhea in infants.
4. Milk must be boiled.
judge
unnecessary
Many people generally believe that boiling milk before drinking can kill bacteria. However, the regular milk sold in the market is a sterilized product, and there is no need to boil it again. If you really don't feel at ease, you can cook the milk at 70 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes and at 50 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes to achieve the purpose of disinfection. Long-term boiling will affect the nutritional composition of milk. The milk taken out of the refrigerator can be heated to a temperature suitable for drinking.
5. condensed milk can be used instead of milk.
judge
wrong
Condensed milk is a drink made by evaporating milk and adding a lot of sucrose, which is equivalent to "concentrated milk", but not all "concentrated" is the essence. It has less protein, fat and vitamins than milk. Too sweet taste will affect the growth and development of children. Therefore, condensed milk cannot replace milk to feed children. On the other hand, although the nutritional value of condensed milk is not as good as milk, it still has certain advantages over white sugar. Some foods dipped in condensed milk can be added to the daily diet as supplementary food, such as gold and silver steamed bread.
