Drinking Milk is No Longer an Obligation

milk(7)So far, we think that drinking milk is important because it is part of the supplementary nutrition your body needs. Moreover, with the slogan four perfectly healthy five-proclaimed government, the more strengthened as drinking milk is an obligation. But it is also for people who suffer from certain illnesses that it is forbidden to drink milk. Such as ulcer disease.

Drinking milk, especially for adults, is not an obligation, but a choice. Meaning, do not need to drink milk, if all the nutrients the body needs are met through food.

While in infants and children, the most ideal food for them is the mother’s milk (breast milk). Because milk contains complete nutrients, according to the needs of the baby.
In certain circumstances (when breast milk can not be given), infants and children are given milk substitutes, namely formula. Milk formula is cow’s or goat’s milk that has been processed pure powder (so long lasting), eliminated or reduced fat content (so the lower the number of calories). Or, discarded lactose content (to avoid the allergic diarrhea), and enriched with calcium, fiber, and nutrients other.

Infants were given only breast milk and infant formula (liquid food), because he just could suck and swallow. The next, more solid food swallowing. At this stage the baby needs further development and learning process. So, do not carelessly food and beverages can be swallowed by infants. Unlike with adults are free to eat anything.

When the baby started to greater food requirement is no longer one hundred percent full of milk, but began to get other food, such as an adult. Of course, the food was adjusted to the ability to feed children, the number of calories, and carbohydrate-protein composition, fat is needed.
As you age, the child’s body’s ability to eat and digest food more mature. The body’s nutritional needs also change, so that slowly but surely, the body needs no longer dependent on milk alone.
Create adults, milk is just one type of food, as ingredients of other foods eaten every day. Milk does contain many nutrients, but he was not “magic intake” that can make such a super body that no longer need the intake-containing intake of other nutrients.

Conversely, although not drink milk, the body’s nutritional needs can still be met any of the other food. That is why nutrition experts usually recommend the consumption of food is varied, to obtain a variety of nutrients and balanced.

Milk also contains not only calcium, so do not think drinking milk just to meet calcium needs. Although by nature is a source of calcium, it also contains other nutrients.
For example, lactose (a form of carbohydrate), proteins, fats, vitamins A, C, B1, B2, calcium, iron, and others. Milk also contains other useful substances that are not grouped into nutrients.

So, once again, to drink milk or not, is a choice. Not Liabilities!
