      Can I drink milk on an empty stomach? It is not advisable to drink milk on an empty stomach. Since water accounts for a large proportion of milk, drinking more milk on an empty stomach will dilute the gastric juice, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food. In addition, intestinal peristalsis is very fast on an empty stomach, and milk passes through the gastrointestinal tract very quickly, and its retention time is very short. Its nutrients often enter the large intestine in a hurry without being absorbed in time, and it is just a show. Therefore, drinking milk on an empty stomach is not in line with nutritional hygiene.

      An ideal breakfast should be a protein-rich, high-calorie meal, and the amount should be no less than ¼ of the entire day's food intake. Therefore, it is best to drink milk before taking a nap or going to bed in the evening, which can eliminate the disadvantages and bring benefits and better play its role. If you are used to drinking milk for breakfast, you must eat some other food before drinking milk so that the milk can stay in the gastrointestinal tract for longer. If you want to drink a bottle of milk for breakfast, you can eat 50 grams of rice or pasta first, and then add another egg Mix it with a little pickles and dried tofu, and then drink milk to mix the milk with other foods in the stomach and prolong the residence time in the gastrointestinal tract, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of its nutrients. Since the calories provided by the food are sufficient and the digestion and absorption are slow and complete, the blood sugar level will remain high and you will be energetic in the morning. 》》》  Eating these foods can change a person’s personality
