　　Men must know! Milk has many health benefits

　　Milk Milk is very rich in minerals. In addition to the well-known calcium, it also contains a lot of phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and molybdenum. The most rare thing is that milk is the best source of calcium for the human body, and the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is very appropriate, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium. The types are complex, with at least more than 100 kinds. The main ingredients include water, fat, phospholipids, protein, lactose, inorganic salts, etc.

　　Milk is rich in nutrients, and more and more people drink milk every day. However, many studies have found that people who drink milk regularly male Susceptible to prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in the male reproductive system. A research team in Boston conducted an 11-year follow-up survey on 20,885 American male physicians. The dairy products they consumed mainly included skim milk, whole milk, and cheese. Among them, 1,012 men developed prostate cancer. Statistical analysis found that compared with men who consumed 150 mg of calcium from dairy products per day, men who consumed 600 mg of calcium per day had significantly lower plasma concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (which has an anti-prostate cancer effect), and their risk of prostate cancer increased by 32%.

　　After excluding age, weight, smoking, sports exercise After analyzing the influencing factors, it was found that men who consumed more than 2.5 servings of dairy products per day (each serving is equivalent to 240ml of milk) had a 34% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those who consumed less than 0.5 servings of dairy products. Researchers in Philadelphia, USA, have also confirmed through epidemiological surveys in the past 10 years that eating more dairy products will increase the risk of prostate cancer in men. Domestic studies have also found that milk intake is significantly related to the incidence of prostate cancer. The reason may be that some brands of milk contain higher estrogen content. Fortunately, some plant compounds in fruits and vegetables have some anti-cancer effects.

　　Some substances in milk have a protective effect on middle-aged and elderly men. Men who drink milk tend to be slimmer, more energetic, have a lower prevalence of hypertension, and a lower incidence of cerebrovascular diseases.

　　3 wrong ways to drink milk.

　　Mistake 1: Taking medicine with milk kills two birds with one stone

　　Some people think that it is definitely beneficial to take medicine with nutritious things. In fact, this is extremely wrong. Milk can significantly affect the body's absorption rate of drugs, making the concentration of drugs in the blood significantly lower than those of non-milk users in the same period of time. Taking medicine with milk can also easily form a covering film on the surface of the medicine, causing mineral ions such as calcium and magnesium in the milk to chemically react with the medicine to form non-water-soluble substances. This not only reduces the efficacy of the medicine, but may also cause harm to the body. Therefore, it is best not to drink milk within 1-2 hours before and after taking the medicine.

　　Mistake 2: The more sugar the better

　　It is the "consensus" of many people that unsweetened milk is not easy to digest. Adding sugar is to increase the calories provided by carbohydrates, but it must be quantitative. Generally, 5-8 grams of sugar is added per 100 ml of milk. Adding too much sugar can do more harm than good. Too much sugar entering the body will retain water in the body, making muscles and subcutaneous tissue soft and weak. What kind of sugar is best to add to milk? Preferably sucrose. After sucrose enters the digestive tract and is broken down by digestive juices, it becomes Grape Sugar is absorbed by the body.

　　There is also the question of when to add sugar. Some people are used to heating sugar and milk together, so that the lysine in the milk will react with the sugar at high temperature (80℃-100℃) to produce the harmful substance glycosyl lysine. Not only will this substance not be absorbed by the human body, it will also be harmful to health, especially to children. Therefore, the boiled milk should be allowed to dry until it is warm (40℃-50℃) before the sugar is dissolved in the milk.

　　Mistake 3: The thicker the milk, the better

　　Some people think that the thicker the milk, the more nutrients you get. This is unscientific.

　　The so-called overly thick milk refers to adding more milk powder and less water to the milk, so that the concentration of the milk exceeds the normal proportion standard. Some people are afraid that fresh milk will be too light, so they add milk powder to it. In fact, if you often eat thick milk, it will cause diarrhea、constipate , loss of appetite, or even refusal to eat, which over time can cause acute hemorrhagic enteritis.
