Food Allergy - Milk (Nutrient & Suggestion of usage)

 

I am going to explain briefly on Milk's nutrients but I hope those scientific terms won't make you all boring (I feel the same too during my university life when I heard vitamin, iron and so on). Milk actually contains protein, vitamin B complex, vitamin A and D, calcium (prevent osteoporosis) potassium and phosphate.However,milk is low in vitamin C and E, iron, complex carbohydrates and fiber. Milk is primarily water (87.3%), 4.8 % carbohydrate (lactose), 3.4% protein (essential amino acid), 3.7% fat, minerals with ph 6.6.

牛奶含有丰富的蛋白质，维他命B, A 和D, 钙质, 钾, 和磷。但是，牛奶含有較低的维他命C,和E, 鉄质，淀份和纤维。牛奶的主要成份是水（87.3%），淡水化合物，蛋白质（3.4%），脂肪（3.7%）。

* Note : 2 servings of milk or milk products provide almost half the protein recommended for a healthy adult women and one-third for a man.

 

2杯牛奶或乳制品可以提供我们一天所须要一半的蛋白质給女性和三分之一給男性。

 

Here is a general suggestion for people who consume milk everyday. Milk should be taken with food such as bread for better nutrients absorption as milk is liquid which is faster transit through our stomach but lead to poor absorption if drink with empty stomach. Milk can release trytophan (an essential amino acid formed from proteins during digestive process) which can make people feel sleepy, so it is advice not to take milk with empty stomach in the morning; it is suggested taking milk at night for better sleep especially for insomnia people.

牛奶营养丰富，适合与面包，饼干等食物一起食用，不适合空腹直接喝。因为牛奶是液体，在胃道滞留时间较短，营养成分不能充分被吸收。另外，牛奶含有色氨酸，会使人感到疲劳，不宜在早上空腹喝，反而适合在睡前喝一杯可促进睡眠，其镇静作用也适合失眠人士或神经衰弱者饮用.

I will further explain more about Milk especially for sick people, people on diet and information related to healthy bone. Thanks for reading.

Food Allergy - Milk

This week I will be focusing on Milk to guide everyone what allergy can it cause and how to consume nutrients contain in milk. When we mention the word Milk, most of us will relate to of cow’s, goat’s milk and dairy products. Hidden ingredients of milk actually included yogurt, cheese, cream, butter, evaporated or condensed milk, dairy ice-cream, biscuits, bread, buns, confectionery (sweets, chocolate), crisps, ham and other packet soups.


Here are 2 main allergy that milk product cause:


Cow’s milk protein allergy which is also known as cow’s milk protein intolerance or cow’s milk snesitive enteropathy, mainly affects babies in the first year of life. Symptoms started with gastroenteritis, include vomiting, diarrhea, colic and poor weight gain.
牛奶的蛋白质产生敏感通常是婴儿时期的一岁左右。这的会造成肠胃发炎，症状包括呕吐，腹泻，胀气和体重不足等。

     Lactose intolerance which is the inability or insufficient ability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products, caused by deficiency of the enzyme lactase. People with latose intolerance may feel uncomfortable (abdominal pain, bloating) after consuming milk and milk products.

     对乳糖不适患者是因为体内缺乏消化乳糖的酶。这会造成腹部不舒适（腹部疼痛，胀气等问题）.

I hope everyone who drink milk everyday take note of the effect which can cause if you are allergy to Milk. I will further explain the proper diet for milk intake for the next post. Have a nice day.
