Dispel the myth of low-fat milk, it is more suitable to drink low-fat milk in these four situations!

A few days ago, Haoshike debunked many myths about low-fat milk. Some fans asked Haoshike whether they can drink low-fat milk, or whether it is suitable to drink low-fat milk. So Haoshike shared with you the following 4 states or situations that are suitable for drinking low-fat milk based on past literature or experience!

1. Office workers who sit in the office for a long time:

According to the National Nutrition Survey conducted between 2013 and 2016, the calcium and vitamin B12 status of office workers was very poor. Fresh milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin B12, but only 13.3% of people drank one cup, let alone two cups! The report also pointed out that more than 42% of people drink at least one sugary drink every day (Note: the source is from the National Nutrition Survey from 2013 to 2016, and the frequency of sweet drinks in the report is the sum of all people aged 19-44). In addition, according to nutritionists' experience, it is easy to choose sweet drinks when eating breakfast in the morning. Nutritionists still recommend that office workers choose fresh milk instead, and those who sit in the office for a long time can choose low-fat fresh milk. Low-fat fresh milk has a low fat content, which reduces the "burden" after eating breakfast!

2. Want to strictly control calories:

Some people want to lose weight by controlling calories, but these people often fail to take in enough calories and nutrients due to excessive control, which leads to counterproductive effects or nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended that people who want to control calories should not only choose sugar-free tea and sugar-free coffee; it is recommended to drink the recommended amount of fresh milk, supplement protein, vitamin B2 and other nutrients through fresh milk, and on the premise of controlling calories well, take in enough nutrients to help control body shape!

If you are really worried about the calories in fresh milk, you can also choose low-fat milk. A 290 ml cup of low-fat fresh milk has only about 125 calories. Drinking a cup every morning and evening only consumes about 250 calories. The content of B vitamins, calcium and protein is almost the same as that of full-fat fresh milk. It is a good drink if you want to strictly control calories!

3. Want to gain muscle after exercise:

Many people want to gain muscle through exercise, so they drink high-protein drinks to replenish protein after exercise, but they often forget that while taking protein, they also need to have enough carbohydrates to help with the muscle-building effect. The ratio of carbohydrates to protein is about 2-4:1, which increases blood sugar and insulin, helping amino acids enter the muscles.

4. Want to have a good sleep:

According to a 2019 survey by the American Society of Sleep Medicine, 10.7% of day shift workers have sleep problems (link). Do you want to have a good night’s sleep? In fact, you don’t need to rely on sleeping pills, diet is also one of the keys! Milk contains tryptophan. Although tryptophan is a precursor of melatonin, milk contains almost no melatonin. It is one of the key nutrients that help us fall asleep. Some scholars believe that drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can make us feel comfortable and sleepy. In addition, low-fat fresh milk has a lower fat content and puts less burden on the stomach and intestines, so if you want to have a good sleep, it is suitable for you to drink a glass of low-fat fresh milk before going to bed!
