Drink milk on an empty stomach at night

It can be said that milk is a favorite drink of many friends. Many friends like to drink milk every day to increase the nutrients needed by the body. Some friends prefer to drink a glass of milk while eating in the morning, while some friends prefer to drink a glass of milk before going to bed at night. So is it good to drink milk on an empty stomach at night? Is it harmful to our health? Can we absorb the nutrients of milk if we drink milk on an empty stomach at night?

Some people like to drink milk at night because they think drinking milk on an empty stomach at night helps them sleep. I don’t know if this statement is correct. Regarding some precautions for drinking milk, the following article gives you a detailed introduction. Let us learn about it together. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

First point: Heating precautions

If you use a microwave oven to heat it, do not heat it for more than 1 minute. After a long time, the vitamin C will definitely be destroyed, the protein will denature, and caramel and gelatin will be produced, which are harmful to the human body and some are even carcinogenic.

Some people like to drink boiled milk, which makes it particularly fragrant. Boiled milk often has a layer of milk skin. Many people think that milk with milk skin is good milk, but this is actually wrong. Let's first talk about what milk skin is. Milk skin is formed during the heating process because the evaporation of air on the surface is equivalent to the coagulation of protein on the surface. However, the current technology tries to prevent it from precipitating. If it precipitates, the quality is poor. At the same time, many people like to add sugar when boiling milk. Of course, you can add sugar, but you must wait until the milk is almost cool before adding sugar. If you add sugar when heating, the sugar will react chemically with the protein at high temperature and will not be absorbed by us.

The best way is to put the bag in hot water for a few minutes or so and the milk will be hot.

Second point: some taboos of drinking milk

Many people like to drink milk on an empty stomach, but if you drink milk on an empty stomach, the milk cannot be fully enzymatically hydrolyzed, the protein in it will quickly be converted into energy and consumed, and the nutrients cannot be well digested and absorbed. Some people may also experience abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, so do not drink milk on an empty stomach, eat something first

It should be noted that not everything can be consumed with milk. For example, the fruit acid in orange juice will react with the protein in milk and condense together. So when drinking milk, don't eat it with oranges, tangerines, chocolate, etc., otherwise it will affect absorption. You can do an experiment at home to see the effect.

Third point: Will drinking milk make you fat?

The main component of milk, protein, is not digested and absorbed so quickly. That is why drinking milk before going to bed will not burden your energy consumption at night, and will also prevent you from feeling very hungry when you get up the next morning. Therefore, drinking milk before going to bed does not affect your weight loss, especially if you choose skimmed or low-fat milk. Of course, if you have edema, it is recommended that you drink it within 1.5-2 hours before going to bed, and do not eat/drink any liquid food/beverages within 1 hour before going to bed. This will be effective for your weight loss.

The article also explains the issue of drinking milk on an empty stomach at night. I hope that all friends can understand the knowledge in this regard. The article also introduces some details to pay attention to when drinking milk. I also hope that friends can master this knowledge. Only by mastering these correctly can we absorb nutrients when drinking milk.
