In our country, milk has been said to be a very important diet for health. Milk is said to be very beneficial especially for children and growing children. Milk is not only a good source of calcium but it also helps in good development of the body and bones. Although children are given milk in every house in the morning or evening, but very few people know how much milk the body needs. Many people think that the more milk you drink, the more benefit the body will get. But this is wrong, like other things, milk should also be drunk within a limit. Let us know how much milk is right for a person to drink in a day
The National Dietary Guidelines of America say that every person should drink milk once a day. The calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calories, potassium, protein and healthy fat present in milk provide many types of nutrition to the body and the body develops properly. According to the guidelines, an adult person should consume 3 cups (750 ml) of milk in a day. Talking about children, it can be said that drinking one to two and a half cups of milk in a day is sufficient. If the child is dependent only on milk, then this can be a different scale. Keeping in mind different age, body, weight, a person can generally get the nutrition required for his body by consuming 500 ml of milk.
If you consume more milk than required, then your body can suffer from many serious damages. Health experts say that sometimes drinking too much milk has a bad effect on the body. Consuming too much milk can cause stomach problems. Along with cold and cough, a person can have diarrhea and he may suffer from indigestion. People who have skin related problems should also consume less milk. Especially those who are allergic to lactogen, that is, those who are victims of lactose intolerance, should not drink milk. Recently, a study conducted in Sweden has shown that people who drink too much milk have weak bones. Such people are more prone to hip fractures and broken bones. Along with this, drinking too much milk also causes iron deficiency in the body.
