Ranging from fractures to fatigue, dairy products may be the main reason for some of your health problems. And you might not even have thought to blame milk for them.
So next time you make your shopping list, you might want to take that into account.
In today’s article we’ll talk more about the warning signs from your body that are trying to indicate you should limit, or possibly completely eliminate, milk consumption.
1. You feel tired most of the time
Milk contains small amounts of opiate molecules that make you drowsy. However, scientifically speaking, that does not mean you will sleep well.
Because it is hard to digest, your body tires itself trying to produce energy to break it down, which disrupts your sleep cycle.
For better sleep you can try consuming fruits rich in tryptophan and vegetables, such as broccoli, sweet potatoes, bananas, or apples.
2. You have acne
Several studies have shown that skim milk worsens acne in teenagers and adolescents. According to other research, dairy products may also be to blame.
Low-fat milk affecting hormones such as insulin and IGF-1 can negatively affect your skin.
3. Your digestion isn’t smooth
One study suggests that 65-70% of the world’s population suffers from lactose intolerance.
Although human milk has a higher amount of lactose compared to cow’s, cow’s milk is harder for us to digest.
Recurring problems such as bloating, nausea, flatulence and diarrhea may be telling you to stop drinking milk.
4. You have pains that seem to come from nowhere
Because milk is very acidic, it causes inflammation according to a study, which damages your joints and muscles.
If you have difficulty recovering from muscle pain after exercise, try reducing your daily intake of dairy products.
5. You experience brain fog
Brain fog is not a disease, but a symptom. It causes memory problems, inability to concentrate and mental vagueness.
Although there are several other causes, excessive consumption of dairy products can also trigger brain fog, due to the high amount of casein in milk causing a false feeling of satisfaction.
Many studies suggest that reducing your milk consumption may help suppress depression.
6. You have allergies and other skin conditions
Because of similar initial symptoms, such as constipation, diarrhea and colic, a milk allergy can be mistaken for lactose intolerance.
5% of children have a milk allergy, but it can also appear later in adulthood. Eczema can also arise due to dairy products.
Try removing dairy products from your diet and see if your condition improves.
7. You have high cholesterol
Cholesterol in the bloodstream partly comes from your diet.
According to the USDA, 100 grams of ordinary cow’s milk contains 10 g of cholesterol and for this reason it is dangerous to consume it daily in large quantities.
8. Your bones crack or break easily
Calcium is essential for the development and health of bones, especially in childhood.
However, all dairy products – or animal proteins in general – are acidic, which reduces the absorption of calcium into the body.
One study suggests that women who drink 3 or more glasses of milk daily have a higher risk of fractures.
9. Your body resists treatment and recovers only slowly
Although a study shows that in this case milk cannot be blamed, the antibiotics given to cows indirectly affect your health.
Antibiotics given to cows cause the development of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. While probiotics are our friends, these bacteria are the complete opposite.
Conclusion
If you want to heal faster, you might want to consider your consumption of dairy products.
