    Health benefits of drinking milk :-
    

     We all know that milk is quite good for our health. In milk we got a lot of calcium, protein and vitamins. 

Calcium : Milk is the best source of calcium for our body. Calcium protects our bodies from bone loss. 

Vitamin D : Vitamin D actually helps the body absorb calcium. Therefore almost all milk produced within the United States has been fortified with 100 to 200 IU of vitamin D. It promotes bone growth and reduces the risk of brittle bones.

Healthy Bones : There are three main factors that contribute to healthy, strong bones. Genetics, physical activity, and proper calcium intake. With one eight ounce serving of milk providing 290 mg of milk it is an excellent source of calcium. You can also offer a serving low fat cheese which boasts 204 mg of calcium. 

Healthy teeth : Encouraging young children to drink milk will result in great dental health. Milk protects the enamel surface against acidic substances. 

Rehydration : Milk contains a good amount of water molecules so it helps in keeping the body hydrated. Especially for children who are constantly active and running around it is important to stay hydrated. 

Right time to drink milk :-

      Drinking  milk in the morning can lead to indigestion and bloating. However people who are trying to gain weight or build muscle can drink milk in the morning. But the best time to drink milk is in the evening or before bedtime because in the evening milk contains enzymes that help in inducing sleep. Milk is a source of Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, which means it is not produced by the human body. Tryptophan is a precursor for serotonin a neurotransmitter which is converted to melatonin, both are known to enhance sleep and relaxation of the brain but this drinking session is only for adults. Kids can drink milk in the morning. 

Don't drink milk in this way :-

1)  Don't consume milk in very cold form. When you boil milk the present structure of molecules changes and that is beneficial for us. So always drink boiled milk that is good for our health. 

2)  Don't consume milk with salty food because the combination of salt and milk is poisonous. The presence of sodium in salt mixed with calcium, sodium does not allow the milk to curdle. Breakout of milk is necessary.

3)  Don't consume milk with any other source of complete  protein. Milk is a complete source of protein and it is dangerous to consume milk with other sources of protein such as eggs etc . and others. Even when you have milk and other sources of protein at least a 45 minutes of gap is necessary. 

4)  Don't combine milk with citrus fruits like orange, guava, apple etc. Ripe apples and bananas combined with milk is good but if you don't feel comfortable or feel indigestion you have to add cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom with milk to improve digestibility. 

5)  Don't combine milk with milk. If you are having breakfast , don't consume milk with it because milk is a great source of protein, so drinking milk separately is good for our health. 

6)  Don't add sugar to milk because combinations of milk and sugar lead to weight gain. Milk is naturally sweet due to the presence of lactose in it. Hence we need not to add any sugar in it.  However if required one can add jaggery or honey into milk.
