Now everyone's living standards have improved, pay more attention to the supplement of nutrition, usually some people often choose milk as part of their breakfast, more young people, a cup of milk a day, drink from small to large, but is this really scientific? Is it really for you? I think friends need to re-evaluate it. Chinese medicine has an objection to the issue of drinking milk every day, and in general, Chinese medicine does not recommend drinking milk, especially adults are not recommended to drink milk regularly.
Milk is cold, drink too much and still on fire
Although Chinese medicine does not disagree with the fact that milk is nutritious, they do not recommend drinking milk, and there are valid reasons. As Chinese, we also have this experience, that is, diet can not only consider nutrition, but also according to the physique to judge whether a certain food can eat more, whether it is suitable for themselves.
Milk is such a food that is not suitable for most people, because its nature is cold, often drinking is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients in other foods, some of which are not worth the loss. People who are prone to feel cold on all fours often drink milk, and the symptoms may become worse.
So are people with hot constitutions very suitable for drinking milk? This is not the case, too much milk is easy to catch fire. This can make many friends dizzy, doesn't it mean that milk is cold? How can it still make people angry? In fact, food with tonic effect, often excessive consumption will easily lead to fire, just like ginseng, it is actually a cold food, but everyone knows that if you eat too much, make up for it, it will be nosebleeds.
That being the case, it is indeed necessary to restrain yourself and reduce the amount of milk you drink, at least not every day. But some people may be a little confused, if you don't drink milk, then will nutrition not keep up? In fact, this problem is indeed unavoidable, and there is indeed a difference between drinking milk and not drinking milk. Spleen and stomach disorders that can be avoided by not drinking milk, often on fire, have already been said, now talk about the benefits of drinking milk, and then you will weigh and judge for yourself whether to drink milk or not.
Drink milk to supplement calcium and prevent osteoporosis
Drinking milk is an important source of calcium supplementation, and some friends may think that calcium supplementation is only needed during the period when adolescents are long-bodied, which is actually an incorrect view. When we reach the age of forty or fifty, all parts of the body begin to accelerate aging, and the calcium in the bones is also rapidly lost, and problems such as osteoporosis and fractures will be more apparent. At this time, there is undoubtedly a great need for calcium supplementation, so the middle-aged and elderly people are also calcium demanders. In the method of calcium supplementation, because milk does cause certain adverse effects on the body, friends can also choose other methods, such as taking calcium tablets to supplement calcium, which is more scientific.
Drink milk to supplement protein and improve immunity
In addition to calcium supplementation, milk also contains a large number of high-quality protein, this nutrient helps to strengthen the body's protective barrier, enhance immunity, for the prevention of diseases, the elimination of cancer cells, etc., have a very important role. Fortunately, the role of drinking milk in improving immunity is not irreplaceable. Not only does milk contain high-quality protein, but soy products also have such nutrients, so we can usually eat more soy products. In addition, drinking more water and more exercise can also help promote the body's metabolism and improve immunity, friends may wish to try more.
In general, drinking milk does have some benefits for the body, but there are also health risks such as damage to the spleen and stomach, leading to fire, so Chinese medicine does not recommend drinking milk. But we don't have to worry too much, because even if we don't drink milk, we can find other substitutes to have the same effect as drinking milk. Therefore, whether to continue to insist on drinking milk, friends can fully weigh and consider before deciding, my suggestion is to reduce the frequency of drinking milk.
