When is the best time to drink milk? Don't misunderstand the efficacy and function of milk.
Evening is the best time to drink milk.

From the perspective of modern nutrition, drinking milk at night is more beneficial than drinking it early, especially before going to bed. This is very reasonable. There are four reasons for this:

1, prevention and treatment of bone calcium loss

The human body has the function of automatically regulating calcium balance. During the day, when calcium is excreted from urine through calcium regulation mechanism, blood will automatically supplement calcium in daily food or calcium preparation to maintain balance; When you stop eating at night, in order to supplement blood calcium, your body will adjust some calcium from your bones. This makes the urine take away a lot of calcium from the bones every morning.

In addition, various hormones that regulate blood calcium levels in the human body are also secreted more during the day and less at night, resulting in higher blood calcium levels during the day and lower at night. Low calcium level at night will promote parathyroid secretion and accelerate bone decomposition; The calcium content in milk is high. If people drink a glass of milk before going to bed and use the calcium in milk to provide calcium source for this low calcium regulation at night, it will not cause the loss of bone calcium.

4. Beauty and weight loss

The cosmetic effect of milk on skin is incomparable to cosmetics. Milk is rich in milk fat, vitamins and minerals, which has a natural moisturizing effect and is easily absorbed by the skin. Especially at night, because the division time of human skin cells is limited to sleep at night, drinking milk before going to bed is beneficial to skin metabolism, producing more new cells, making skin look shiny and elastic. Nowadays, many people, especially women, are increasingly pursuing slimness. Dairy products are the perfect nutrition to make you less hungry.

Therefore, no matter from what point of view, drinking milk at night is the best. Even if someone wants to drink milk in the morning, it is better to drink it one hour after breakfast and eat some starchy food to help the stomach digest milk better.

Myth 1: You can lose weight without drinking milk.

Positive solution: wrong!

Is milk a fattening food? Sandra Bourdeau, a registered dietitian of Canadian Dairy Association, tells you that this is an absolutely wrong concept! If your diet has always followed the principle of "low calorie and low fat", adding some milk to the menu can prevent weight gain, because the egg white in milk can reduce hunger and make it easier to eat less. The Canadian Nutrition Society suggests that if you want to control your weight, you might as well drink a cup of skim milk around 4 pm, and the amount of food you eat at dinner is easy to reduce 1/3.

Myth 2: Bus sterilization will destroy the nutrients in milk.

Positive solution: wrong!

Bus sterilization is a disinfection method to kill pathogenic bacteria in fresh milk at low temperature, which makes milk safer and retains its nutrients. Studies have shown that fresh milk will lose very little vitamin B during pasteurization, but in view of the extremely rich content of Vb in milk, this part of the loss can be almost completely ignored; More importantly, bus sterilization has no effect on protein and calcium, the most important nutrients in milk!

Myth 3: Coffee with cream is equivalent to drinking milk.

Positive solution: wrong!

In the Canadian Dietary Guide published by Health Canada, experts provide some diets that can replace milk from the perspective of "nutrient content", such as "250ml milk = 175g yogurt =50g cheese". There is no mention of another common dairy product-cream. Cream is not favored by healthy organizations because of its high calorie and fat, and some cream products are artificially added with a lot of sugar and fruit additives. So, if you really like milk coffee, you can try latte.

Myth # 4: Drinking a glass of milk for dinner can satisfy your body's daily demand for dairy products.

True solution: Wrong, the goal requirement can reach half, but not all.

/kloc-Adults over 0/8 years old can get their daily requirements by drinking 2-3 cups of milk every day (one cup ≈250ml), children aged 2-8 years old need 2 cups, and teenagers aged 9-18 need 3-4 cups. Actually, you don't have to stare at the milk. Cheese and yogurt are the same source of high-quality nutrition, or you can change the way you drink milk, such as making milkshakes with it, or replacing water with milk when making oatmeal and sweet soup.

Myth 5: Low-fat milk has no effect on blood pressure.

Positive solution: wrong!

Low-fat milk and low-fat and low-salt dairy products are effective in controlling blood pressure. Dietary methods to control hypertension put forward by American health experts are very popular in Europe and America because they can effectively lower blood pressure. It consists of 2-3 parts of fat-free or low-fat dairy products, 8- 10 parts of fruits and vegetables, with no more than 2300mg of salt per day. Dairy products are the key to this diet, because milk contains many nutrients that can lower blood pressure, such as magnesium, calcium and vitamins.

Myth 6: Organic milk is healthier.

Positive solution: wrong!

Organic milk contains as many nutrients as ordinary milk, such as protein, vitamin D and so on. The main difference between the two lies in the farming method of the farm. The feed of organic cows is pure natural pasture, which contains no pesticides and artificial ingredients, but this does not mean that ordinary cows eat bad feed. As far as nutrition is concerned, if you can afford organic milk, it is naturally good; If it is not "organic control", ordinary milk has nothing to worry about.
