If you are allergic to Milk, you are about to become a healthier person!
Recent studies associate the rise of milk consumption with the increase in ostheoporosis and hip fracture cases in the US. Accordingly, the consumption of milk, forces the body to absorb phospate components from the bones in order to neutralize its acidity. The body is asking for more alkaline products.
You may be thinking, how do I replace my calcium now? But there are many calcium sources significantly better than milk. But first things first. Read through the list of sources, and take note so that you can avoid these products in the near future.
Sources:
-Milk can be found in yogurt, cheeses of all kinds, hamburgers, cooked sausages, meat loaf, mashed potatoes, flavoured popcorn, whey and waffles.
-It is also found in baked goods such as doughnuts, breads, muffins, cookies, cake, pie crust and pudding.
-Watch out for salad dressings, custards, curds, ice creams, soups, sherberts, soda and crackers. These products usually contain milk. If you are used to cooking with butter you may want to consider olive or coconut oil as an alternative.
Now let’s get to the solution:
There are many milk replacers such as
almond milk
soy milk
oat milk
coconut milk,
rice milk.
Because these sources are more alkaline, studies claim the body absorbs them more efficiantly. Additionally consuming Omega’s and Vitamin D found in Fish oils and Algae will enhance your calcium absortion.
Lookout for vegan products such as cashew cheese, and soy butter if you are looking to add flavour to your kitchen.
Since the milk allergy is now one of the most common in children, milk-free products are rapidly becoming popular. Have you tried that coconut ice-cream yet?
