MILK NUTRITION : FACTS, VALUE AND INFORMATION | NAMASTE INDIA

Drink milk today and you will thank yourself for it in the future!

Since childhood, our elders and, especially our mothers, have been explaining why drinking milk is necessary. Whether you appreciate the taste of milk or not, it is undeniable that milk carries significant nutritional value and its regular consumption can save you from malnutrition.

Some people might be allergic to the lactose content present in milk. However, those not allergic can benefit from the consumption of lean and low-fat versions of cow’s milk. It’s indeed a good idea to replace artificial supplements with a warm glass of milk every day.

Milk nutrition facts

Nutritional Value of Milk

A cup,  about 240 ml of cow’s milk, has  150 calories, of which 88% is water, 11.7 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat, 12.3 grams of sugar, 7.7 grams of protein and 0% fiber.

Milk Protein

Milk is known to have a significant component of water-soluble and water-insoluble proteins. The insoluble casein protein enhances the absorption of calcium and other minerals in the body whereas soluble whey protein is helpful in muscle growth and maintenance. Therefore, it is highly recommended by dieticians to those who indulge in physical activities.

Milk Fat

The natural milk that comes straight from the cow contains 4% of fat. It is later processed for reducing the fat concentration up to different levels to maintain the variation in saturation. In some countries, low-fat milk contains 1% fat, reduced-fat milk contains 2% fat, and whole milk has 3.25% fat which is quite steep than the actual fat composition in natural milk.

Major Health Benefits

• Milk is considered to be quite sufficient for growth and development because of the ample abundance of essential vitamins and minerals. The most crucial nutritious elements that you can find in milk are calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin and vitamin B12.
• Milk plays a pivotal role in building bone health and density. As per some health researches, those who consume milk regularly have decreased risks of osteoporosis (drastic fall in bone density).

• Common health problems such as high blood pressure and heart diseases can be prevented and controlled with regular consumption of milk. Moreover, if you are already a heart patient, then low-fat milk is the best option for you.

Milk Processing

Milk is undoubtedly the most beneficial food for the human body, but many people can’t digest pure milk. Therefore, natural milk is always processed before pasteurization or homogenization. Pasteurization is used to kill harmful bacteria, whereas homogenization is used for breaking down the fatty acids in smaller units, making the milk easier to digest.
