A nutritionist spoke about the changing GI response to milk with age
Changes in the GI tract of the human body can occur with age, and milk allergy is an example of this. This was reported by nutritionist, nutriciologist Roman Pristansky on Thursday, January 16.
"It can be age-related changes, for example, a person's milk intake ends after the first years of life. Further our species is not strongly characterized by milk intake. That is, we have domesticated the animal, we use all the benefits, but our gene is not rearranged," the expert told Radio 1.
The expert noted that the solution to this situation is a partial exclusion of dairy products. You can introduce them into your diet little by little, in small amounts.
"The body will have to allocate an enzyme. That is, when the product gets on our tongue, a large number of impulses are given to the body, bile is produced, enzymes are produced that are required to digest a particular product consumed at the moment. After that, the rest of the digestion is already triggered," concluded the nutritionist.
Earlier, November 28, 2024, a nutritionist, Candidate of Medical Sciences, senior researcher at the FIC Nutrition and Biotechnology Natalia Denisova explained the dangers of giving up milk.
The specialist pointed out that the absence of milk in the diet can provoke a lack of protein. Milk protein contains all essential amino acids. Milk proteins are represented by two classes - caseins and albumin. Albumin is almost identical to human blood plasma protein, so it is well digested, and casein is digested somewhat worse. In addition, some people are allergic to it. The doctor advised to replace cow's milk with goat's milk in such a situation.
October 19, SberZdorovya gastroenterologist Olga Yevlasheva said that the most common forms of food intolerance are intolerance to lactose - milk sugar, as well as histamine - a chemical involved in the immune system, RT reports.
In turn, nutritionist Elena Solomatina said that those who do not want to drink cow's milk for various reasons can replace it with soy milk, 360.ru reported.
