There is such a big difference between people who drink milk and those who don't drink it! But not paying attention to 2 points is equivalent to 'drinking for nothing'

Mr. Zhang had a son when he was 42 years old, so he took good care of this little son and loved him. Whether it is food or clothing, I just want the best for my son. In order to supplement his son's nutrition, Mr. Zhang specially let his son drink a glass of milk before going to bed.

However, when the child is 10 years old, it always looks as tall as a 7-year-old child, and the body has been maintained at 130CM.

Mr. Zhang hurriedly took the child to the hospital for examination, and was told that the child's spleen and stomach were weak and his digestive function was not good. A glass of milk before going to bed every day affects the quality of the child's sleep, thus affecting the secretion of growth hormone in the body, which ultimately leads to this result.

1. Can you drink milk before going to bed?

There are several concerns about whether you can drink milk before going to bed. Including drinking milk before going to bed will cause growth burden? Does drinking milk before bed cause tooth decay? Will it cause poor sleep or affect growth hormone?

In this regard, nutritionist Gu Zhongyi said that drinking milk before going to bed may cause discomfort to some people. Such people have poor digestive function of the digestive tract, or have symptoms of functional dyspepsia.Cardia sphincter muscle strength is relatively weak, and may be shunted after lying down.

Secondly, if the child does not wash the milk after drinking the milk before going to bed and sleeps with the milk left, there is a long-term risk of dental caries.

Finally, when the human body is in deep sleep, the pituitary gland secretes a large amount of growth hormone, so sleep is very important for the growth and development of children. However, there is a relationship between growth hormone and insulin. Ingestion of high-refined carbohydrate foods will cause more insulin secretion. Therefore, from this perspective, some studies believe that drinking milk and eating before going to bed may affect the secretion of growth hormone.

However, there are many studies on whether eating food before bed affects physical development, but there is no definite answer. Nutritionist Gu Zhongyi said that there is no need to change the diet because of this. It doesn't really matter if your child consumes the right amount of milk per day and sleeps soundly after drinking it before bed.

2. What is the difference between people who drink milk often and those who drink milk occasionally?

Some people do not like to drink milk, but the benefits of milk are many. Milk is not only a calcium supplement, but also protects the heart, strengthens memory, and reduces the risk of bowel cancer.

According to a study by Gu Dongfeng's team from Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, people who drink 150-300 grams of milk a day have a 23% and 19% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and death, respectively, than those who don't drink milk.

In addition, drinking milk can also enhance the body's immunity, help excretion of uric acid, reduce acute gout attacks and so on.

In addition, there are skills in drinking milk. If you drink it wrongly, you may drink it for nothing. How to drink it? Need to pay attention to avoid the following two wrong drinking methods.

1. Drink milk as water?

Milk is a fatty dairy product, which is rich in protein and calcium. If you drink milk as water, you may consume excess saturated fatty acids, protein and calcium.

Excessive intake of protein can easily increase the burden on the kidneys. Excessive calcium intake can increase the risk of constipation, interfere with iron absorption and increase the risk of anemia. Drinking milk as water may also affect the diet of meals and increase the risk of obesity.

2. Cooking milk at high temperature for a long time

Many people think that cooking milk tends to lose nutrients. In fact, high temperature cooking will not affect the main nutrients of milk, but the B vitamins, vitamin C and flavor substances in milk will change.

There are two types of milk, normal temperature and low temperature. Low temperature milk has a short shelf life. If you want to retain its flavor, it is best not to cook it.

Finally, there is no fixed best time to drink milk , and generally different people have different needs.

For example, people with a bad stomach can drink milk one hour before meals. If you want to maximize the utilization rate of milk, you can choose to drink it one hour after dinner. If you need sleep aid, you can drink it one hour before going to bed. Drinking milk one hour before exercise helps In order to increase muscle, you can drink milk to stop hunger when it is too late to eat.

3. Pay attention when choosing milk, some are fake milk

There are all kinds of dairy beverages on the market, but many dairy beverages cannot supplement nutrition and can only be used as beverages.

1. Breakfast milk

The ingredients of breakfast milk are mainly pure milk, water, sugar, malt extract, some nutritional fortifiers, and edible flavors.

Although there are milk and nutritional fortifier ingredients, water and sugar are added, which greatly reduces the nutritional content, and the content of nutritional fortifiers is low. In general, breakfast milk also falls into the category of prepared milk.

2. Reconstituted milk

Reconstituted milk refers to making milk into milk powder, and then making milk powder into milk again .

Reconstituted milk has undergone two high-temperature treatments, so some nutrients will be lost. Although the taste is delicious, the quality is relatively poor.

3. Dairy drinks

Milk-containing beverages are not real milk, but actually a beverage product whose main ingredients are food additives such as milk or dairy products, water, acidulants, sugar or sweeteners, and flavors.

Compared with milk, milk-containing beverages contain less protein, minerals and other nutrients, and milk-containing beverages also contain many sugars. Regular drinking can easily lead to obesity, dental caries, diabetes and other diseases.

Extension: Children do not grow taller, it may be precocious puberty

In recent years, the topic of sexual maturity has gradually become heated, and many people believe that precocious puberty in children is related to the intake of foods such as honey and milk.

In fact , neither honey nor milk will cause precocious puberty . First of all, although milk contains some natural estrogen, its content is not as high as that of breast milk. In addition to royal jelly, other "hormones" in honey are plant hormones. Plant hormones can bind to estrogen receptors in the human body and play an estrogen-like effect.

The hormone content in royal jelly is far below the detection limit of 100.00ng in the Chinese sex hormone testing standard, which is not enough to cause harm to the human body.

The reasons for precocious puberty are very complex. On the one hand, with the popularity of fast food diets, children are prone to ingest a large amount of high-fat foods such as fried, puffed foods, and sweets, which leads to the secretion of leptin from fat cells. Leptin can promote the secretion of gonadotropins . . Excessive fat intake also affects estrogen metabolism, which are mechanisms that may be involved in sexual maturation.

On the other hand, body disease, environment, genetics, nutrition, information stimulation, etc. may be the main culprits that cause precocious puberty in children. Parents need to carry out correct and reasonable sex education for children, pay attention to the development of children, and intervene as soon as possible when signs appear.

Drinking milk before bed is fine for most people, as long as they don't experience any discomfort. In addition, although milk has high nutritional value, it should be consumed in the correct amount. When choosing milk, pay more attention to avoid buying "fake milk".
