Modern nutritional recommendations include milk and dairy products - yoghurt, cheese and cottage cheese - as sources of complete protein.
This means that they contain the entire set of essential amino acids: this is the name given to those amino acids that are not synthesized in the human body and must be supplied with food.
What are the benefits of dairy products
The main advantage of consuming dairy products is their ability to have a beneficial effect on the intestinal microflora.
They also contain calcium and vitamin D, which strengthen bones and prevent the development of cancer.
The most valuable source of health is milk.
Dairy products are rich in calcium, which is not only needed for strong bones, but is also involved in the blood clotting system, muscle function, including the heart, and also in the conduction of nerve impulses.
The doctor-recommended intake of dairy products per day is 1-2 servings.
But the reason for the craving for such products is most likely associated with a deficiency in the body of various useful substances: calcium, potassium, zinc; phosphorus, magnesium, leucine, tryptophan, lysine;
Vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin C and B vitamins.
When not to eat dairy products
Milk is contraindicated only in cases of established lactase deficiency, allergies to cow's milk proteins, and if the patient has clinical manifestations of food intolerance.
