Three wrong ways to drink milk

Drink milk with medicine

Taking medicine with milk will create a film coating on the outside of the pill, calcium ions and magnesium ions in milk will cause a chemical reaction to form a substance that is insoluble in water, reducing the effectiveness of the medicine. It is best not to drink milk one hour before and after taking medicine.

Boil fresh milk

Many people believe that when buying milk, it is necessary to sterilize it by boiling it. However, most milk on the market has been sterilized, so there is no need to boil it. If you boil it, you should boil it over high heat and turn it off immediately when it boils. This will both preserve the milk's ingredients and have a sterilizing effect.

Do not boil over low heat or for too long, as this will destroy the nutrients in the milk. Furthermore, boiling for too long can cause the lactose in the milk to leak out, which can cause cancer.

Milk on the market is mostly sterilized so there is no need to boil it.

In addition, when boiled to 100 degrees, the sugar in the milk begins to melt, so the milk will turn brown and gradually decompose into lactic acid, while producing formic acid, making the milk sour, affecting the taste. Therefore, milk should only be boiled, not boiled for a long time.

Drink milk as thick as possible

This is an unscientific concept. Milk that is too thick has a lot of milk powder, sugar and little water, so the milk concentration exceeds the normal standard, which is not good for health. Children who regularly drink milk that is too thick will have diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, and even acute intestinal bleeding because their internal organs are still weak.

Some types of formula milk can cause constipation due to its high protein content. Therefore, to prevent constipation, you should drink milk with added soluble fiber to improve digestion, reduce constipation, increase beneficial bacteria in the intestines and increase calcium absorption.
