I Hope You Do not Be A Milk Mustache

"But my mom told me to take milk!?"

One of the most controversial events that happen in my office all the time is the reduction or total elimination of all dairy products supply plans of my clients (and yes, this also includes children).

Something like that happened last week, almost started a welterweight boxing match in my office. This particular mother could not understand why he was telling them to stop their children as much milk when everyone else (including other health professionals) were telling him the exact opposite.

So I did what any nutritionist would do good, I got the sleeves and I fought to death with it (just kidding, I did not). I replied with the following arguments:

1. Americans drink more milk than anyone else in another country, despite that we still have the highest rate of osteoporosis.

2. Pasteurization kills all the necessary digestive enzymes in the milk (This is why so many people suffer from lactose intolerance today).

3. Pasteurization also causes most of the calcium in milk is insoluble, in other words causes 50% of the calcium in milk can not be used by the body (This contributes to the high rate of osteoporosis).

4. The milk sugar (lactose) is converted into sugar that your body uses very rapidly, causing ups and downs in blood sugar levels and consequently becomes a roller coaster ride with ups and downs of energy for you .

How can this be true? Were not they supposed that milk was good for the body? Yes, it is in effect, but presumably

milk should only be consumed in its natural (unpasteurized) milk. Sounds scary? Many states in the United States sell raw milk in its stores without any health problems for their clients, and most organic farmers only drink pasteurized milk that is not (because they know that milk is better in its natural state) .

My father is a great example. When it came to this country from Peru, said the milk tasted funny, so I will not drink. When finally located an organic farmer could sell us raw milk (unpasteurized) returned to drinking. (Note: My dad is 71, is in very good physical condition and has never taken drugs throughout his life. What little is not amazing?).

Returning to the milk. The other fact to consider is that most of the cows are given growth hormone in excess to keep producing large amounts of milk.

This, in turn, makes them sick when this happens give them antibiotics. Growth hormone and antibiotics enters your bloodstream and then into the milk they produce. Who drinks the milk loaded with chemicals? We! (In fact, I do not and maybe you're beginning to consider what you do).

The next big concern is "How will I get enough calcium?" As mentioned above, most of the calcium in milk is not absorbed by the leather. It absorbs more calcium from foods like green leafy vegetables, broccoli, sardines (preferably with bones) and salmon.

This makes sense, the majority of calcium comes from vegetables and cows, preferably grass-fed, so they have a lot of calcium in their bodies (please do not eat grass. In reality, this only works for cows).

If your goal is to reduce your risk of osteoporosis, the # 1 activity do to prevent this debilitating disease: Exercise! The weight-bearing exercise has proven to be the # 1 way to prevent osteoporosis. Put little stress on your bones through strength training helps you get stronger. Nobody, and I really mean no one, should set aside some exercise in your life.

So what options I gave this particular mother, and every parent and client that comes to my office?

1. If you consume dairy products regularly, try it to find raw milk (unpasteurized).

2. If you think you afraid of raw milk, buy the next best product, certified organic dairy products. Be free of antibiotics and hormones.

3. Since most of the calcium in milk is not absorbed by the body, be sure to get your calcium from other sources: green leafy vegetables, broccoli, sardines (with bones) and salmon.

4. Commit to making a strength training routine consistently. Not just for your muscles and how you look in the mirror (although this does help), but for the sake of your bones.

Go ... I do not know about you, but this makes me think about the milk mustache.
