Why milk is good?
1. Source of calcium
The main usefulness of milk is that it is a source of calcium, and thus helps to strengthen the skeletal system of the human body, including teeth.
2. Helps to calm down and go to sleep
Milk has an excellent restorative effect on the human nervous system. For example, if you can’t sleep after work, or you do not let a stressful situation, a glass of warm milk with a teaspoon of honey 1 hour before bedtime will allow you to easily go to sleep without taking special drugs (not hotter than 40 degrees, because this will destroy all the nutrients in the honey).
3. Promotes weight loss
Milk promotes weight loss (most importantly, drink low-fat milk), because it has some wonderful vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), which is responsible for energy metabolism and converts to energy carbohydrates and fats.
4. Cosmetic effect

Is there any harm from milk?
The biggest disadvantage of milk is that it is a strong allergen. At the same time dairy products (yogurt, cheese, yogurt) and goat milk allergies can eat.
Absolutely not useful milk older people are advised to drink as little as possible (no more than one glass a day), because it accumulates harmful substances to the body developing atherosclerosis.
And the milk is absolutely impossible to use for people with lactose intolerance.
The types of milk and methods for their production
Pasteurized milk is the most common type of milk that we drink. Stored for several days at pasteurization (heating milk to 70 degrees, without oxygen) vitamins remain and the bacteria die.
UHT – UHT milk. The milk is heated to 130-140 degrees, all bacteria are killed, like most vitamins. The milk is then bottled in airtight packaging in a sterile environment. Can be stored up to 6 months.
Baked milk – milk first pasteurized (temperature up to 85 degrees), and then for 3-4 hours constantly stirred keeping the temperature. Milk gets caramelized taste and a creamy color. Vitamins in it is much less than in pasteurized milk. Not stored for more than 3-4 days.
Goat’s milk is much fatter than regular milk, so it is not suitable for proper nutrition and weight loss, but calcium in it anymore. Shelf life – up to 1 week.
Rice milk has a mild and pleasant taste and low fat content, so it is recommended to use for weight loss and weight reduction. Cooking is simple: cook the rice, cool it down and Porirua. Water, cinnamon, vanilla added to taste. Periods of storage your homemade milk – no more than 3-4 days.
Soy milk contains a large amount of protein. Made from soy beans that are soaked for several hours in water, then boil, filter, cool and make puree. Shelf life – not more than 1 week.
In deciding to purchase and use any type of milk, decide for what purpose you buy it. And remember: milk is not a drink, it’s food that goes well with all types of products. It nourishes our bodies with calories and nutrients. Milk can serve as a snack and is a dish that does not require special additives.
