When is the best time to drink milk?

　　◆ Some adults have the habit of drinking milk in the morning. This method is unscientific. The reason is that after a night of sleep, the stomach has already been emptied and is ready to eat and digest food. The stomach empties quickly at this time, and milk is liquid milk, so the stomach empties it faster.

　　◆ If you drink milk on an empty stomach, it will be excreted into the intestines before it is fully digested and absorbed in the stomach, resulting in the loss of nutrients. Milk is rich in high-quality protein. The main function of these proteins is to form new tissues of the human body and also repair existing tissues.

　　◆ If you drink milk on an empty stomach, not only will the milk be quickly excreted from the stomach, but the above-mentioned precious proteins will also be decomposed by the body and consumed as calories, which cannot fully play the role of protein.

　　Things to note when drinking milk for breakfast

　　Drinking milk at night is good for rest and sleep

　　It is best to drink milk at night, because milk contains L-tryptophan, a biochemical that can make people feel tired and sleepy, as well as trace amounts of morphine-like substances. These substances have a certain sedative and hypnotic effect, especially L-tryptophan, which is the main raw material for the brain to synthesize hydroxyl. Serotonin plays a key role in brain sleep. It can temporarily inhibit brain thinking activities, making people want to sleep without any side effects. Moreover, whether milk sticks to the stomach wall and is absorbed, the calcium in milk can also clear away tension, so it is good for it. elderly People's sleep is more beneficial, so drinking milk at night is good for people's rest and sleep.

　　Drinking milk before going to bed is beneficial to the absorption and utilization of calcium.

　　Most of the calcium taken in at dinner is absorbed and utilized by the body before going to bed. The level of calcium in the blood will gradually decrease after sleeping, especially after midnight at night. The decrease in blood calcium promotes hypersecretion of the parathyroid glands. The hormone acts on the bone tissue, causing part of the calcium salt in the bone tissue to dissolve into the blood to maintain a stable balance of blood calcium. This dissolution is the body's self-regulatory function. Over time, it will become one of the causes of osteoporosis. Drink milk before going to bed at night. The calcium in the milk can be slowly absorbed by the blood. The blood calcium is replenished and balanced throughout the night. There is no need to dissolve the calcium in the bones, preventing bone loss and osteoporosis, so it is good to drink milk before going to bed.
