The study also didn't find large quantities of beneficial bacteria in the raw milk samples, as it is being claimed.
Milk is a complete food. Most Indian diets are incomplete without milk. Packed with nutrients like protein, vitamin A, B1, B12, and D, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and riboflavin, it is, in fact, one of the most nutritious beverages that you can add to your diet. According to a study at the Universities of Reading, Cardiff and Bristol, drinking milk can lessen the chances of dying from illnesses such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke by up to 15-20 per cent. Researchers aimed to establish whether the health benefits of drinking milk outweigh any dangers that lie in its consumption. According to them, while growth and bone health are of great importance to health and function, it is the effects of milk and dairy consumption on chronic disease that are of the greatest relevance to reduced morbidity and survival.
Ayurveda says that you must have a glass of milk at night to get the best out of this beverage. You can also add a pinch of haldi to it to make it more potent. If you want better sleep, just add ashwagandha to it. This will also give you a memory boost. For vision problems, add triphala to your glass of milk. There are, however, a few things that you need to keep in mind about this wonderful beverage.
Many experts say that you must avoid having milk on an empty stomach. This is a heavy beverage and it can leave you feeling bloated and dull throughout the day. If you are lactose intolerant, have gastric issues or suffer from poor digestion, you must keep away from this beverage in the morning. Eating yogurt or fermented milk products on an empty stomach too is not good because it forms hydrochloric acid, which kills the lactic acid bacteria present in these milk products. This causes acidity. Even Ayurveda, the ancient Indian Healing therapy, says that you must avoid drinking milk in the morning. In fact, it advocates that even children must not have milk on an empty stomach.
