Food health: Do not drink milk when

What to drink milk when? Can and can not

That the milk can for water, because nearly 90% of the milk of water. Water is of primary importance to maintain the nutrients of human life, one body of water is lost when more than 2%, the body's functions to run will be affected. The human body without water added, a few days can be life-threatening. So, when water supply is insufficient, milk naturally can be used as a source of water, a valuable supplement to the body of water.

However, when milk can not drink. Because of how much water we can drink much, but milk is not a. Reason is that milk also contains fat, protein, sugar, calcium, phosphorus and many other components, have limited their intake. If we need water every day come from milk, fat and other nutrients will be intakes may be too much. Therefore, milk can not be unlimited when the water to drink.

"High-nutrition" foods are not the more the better

That people can drink milk as the starting point is that the milk is highly nutritious drink more, since it is "high nutrition" should be the more the better. Some of the "nutrition" a little misunderstanding, they read as nutritional content and quality of nutrients. High calcium content in milk, protein quality, but also contain more relative shortage of Chinese food supply of vitamin B2 and vitamin A, so "nutritious." But why say that this is the misunderstanding?

First of all, the so-called nutrition, is to meet human needs, a variety of food in quantity and variety of the rational arrangement. As the current nutritional limitations in understanding, usually with the rationality that is expressed as the number and proportion of various nutrients, but this does not mean that the protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc and other nutrients together on into "high nutrition" the. Reasonably nutritious food mix should include a certain proportion of cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk and other food, plus water, the composition of our daily meals. But with plenty of milk instead of water, actually upset this balance with food.

Secondly, with the nutrients of milk contains protein and fat are about 3%, sugar content of about 5%, about one-thousandth of calcium. In accordance with Chinese Dietary Guidelines recommend drinking 1.2 liters daily basis, if the milk for water, will be excess supply of calcium, fat and heat a bit more. Milk in the saturated fatty acids on cardiovascular health disadvantage, too much energy will easily lead to obesity [produced ten reasons for obesity, sleep is the easiest way to lose weight]. The use of milk instead of the 1st half of the amount of drinking water - 600 ml, intake of fat and heat are not enough for many. This is why the Westerners for their health, use skim milk reason. As for the milk protein, we actually do not need to overemphasize. As the species is very abundant food supply, the proportion of animal food is relatively high protein supply in China's urban population is not their major nutritional problems. For rural residents, especially economically backward rural residents, the milk is more nutritious to improve the role of the protein.

Last but not least, the high protein, high fat, high-energy diet has been diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and other modern "diseases of civilization" is one culprit. Therefore, a large number of drinking milk for the West, water to drink milk when eating habits, some scholars hold very negative views. According to some milk and ovarian cancer and prostate cancer-related reports, some scholars even advocate not to drink milk. This is somewhat extreme. Occurrence of cancer and many of our daily eating all the food and eating habits, such as eating a lot of animal food, fried and grilled foods, smoked and preserved foods, excess intake of energy, eat fruit and vegetables and less. The relationship between these problems and cancer than milk big. Therefore, we can not unworthy, even these studies can not be simply interpreted as a tumor on the price of food and relationships. It should be noted that any foods are beneficial and harmful sides, moderate benefit, too harmful, but the key is to moderate with a variety of food.

So, if some of our daily drink milk, calcium can improve the supply of drinking water in the hand is not convenient, the temporary to pay, also could take. But with plenty of milk instead of long-term drinking water, no means rational nutrition, and certainly not high in nutrition, may also bring health risks.
