Is milk good or bad ? | Dr Pal

Milk is a good source of protein. However, i’m seeing a lot of patients not able to tolerate milk these days when they go beyond 30 years of age. This is related to the enzyme lactase deficiency. These patients could enjoy milk by using lactase tablets before taking daily products.

Milk contains tryptophan which releases serotonin which will promote melatonin for good sleep. However, timing is crucial. The most important concept is that drinking milk at night just before going to bed will trigger insulin release because of the carbohydrates present in the milk which will disturb the circadian rhythm. If you want to drink milk, please drink 2 to 3 hours before going to bed and not just before.

I am going to share this to all my family members who force me to drink milk. According to them all my illnesses are due to this as I quit drinking milk by the age of 5 or 7. Now I am 38. Thank you Dr Pal ☺️

[TheRozylass]

I can't believe that every human being is exactly the same. I LOVE milk and milk loves me. I'm close to 67 and don't have any problems with digestion. In fact, if I skip drinking milk I feel worse.

[NagarathinamM-nx]

What a light hearted way to say things sir and the care u have for people is visible..thanks 😊😊

[harishbisht]

In ayurveda it is also said we should always drink milk only in nights but there should be the gap window of 1 hr atleast before sleeping. Having milk and instant sleep will give stomach problems dr. Pal is right.

[countluciferderebelis]

This is the only health channel I am following. And I have watched many shorts by him.. and by this time I got educated by the proportion of fibre and carb

[Dr.freedom]

Every video I watch I become a greater fan. Luv the Saravana Kumar and Arrokyasami. U have got greater sense of humour than all the so-called standups in india combined.

[sarakenny]

Thank you so much for this video. My daughter and I are lactose intolerants. She always feel bad for this. All your videos are insightful. Thank you Dr
