How much do you know about the benefits of low-fat fresh milk?

When it comes to fresh milk, the first thing that comes to mind is that it can supplement calcium, but other than that, how much do you know about fresh milk? For example, when is the right time to supplement with fresh milk? Are there any other health benefits of drinking fresh milk?

Think back, do you remember the last time you drank fresh milk? According to the nutrition survey conducted between 2013 and 2016, the Chinese people's calcium intake is generally insufficient. Although fresh milk is rich in calcium and is most easily absorbed by the human body, statistical surveys also found that only 13.3% of people drink one cup of fresh milk every day. In other words, there is still much room for improvement for the Chinese people in terms of calcium supplementation.

Office workers sit for long periods of time and lack sunlight, so they need to supplement calcium from their diet

"I know fresh milk is very healthy, but it seems to have a high fat content and a high calorie content?" Many people must have had this question in their minds. They want to supplement calcium to stay healthy, but are worried about the calories. In fact, the health value of fresh milk itself outweighs its calorie problem. Take office workers as an example. They often eat out for three meals a day. Their diet is generally high in oil and salt. They often have a cup of sugary shaken drink in their hands. In addition, they maintain a sedentary lifestyle with little movement. These are the root causes of excessive calorie intake.

Not to mention, office workers are the group that most needs to supplement calcium through fresh milk. In addition to calcium intake through diet, vitamin D can also be obtained through sun exposure. However, office workers sit in the office for a long time and have limited time exposed to the sun each day, so they need to get enough calcium from the diet. If you are worried about excess calories, "low-fat fresh milk" is the best choice.

Drinking two servings of Ruisui low-fat fresh milk every day contains less than 300 calories and can also provide the body with sufficient calcium.

Want to drink fresh milk to supplement calcium: Choosing low-fat fresh milk can help reduce calorie intake

The production method of whole milk is to send the raw milk to the production line, and then go through a homogenization process to make the fat particles in the milk smaller and evenly distributed in the milk. It then goes through the sterilization, cooling and canning process. Low-fat milk, on the other hand, goes through an additional centrifugal process to be separated into skim milk and fat, which are then adjusted in proportion to make low-fat milk.

"Will other nutrients be affected if the fat in fresh milk is reduced?" Don't worry. According to the Taiwan Food Composition Database, every 100 grams of full-fat and low-fat fresh milk contains 3 grams and 3.1 grams of protein, and 100 and 98 milligrams of calcium, respectively. From this data, it is clear that the nutritional components such as protein and calcium of low-fat milk are almost equivalent to those of full-fat fresh milk. The nutritional value and nutritional content of commercially available fresh milk are clearly marked on the packaging. If you spend a minute comparing the products on the shelf, you will find that the nutritional value of low-fat milk is no different from that of full-fat milk.
