Dairy products are a traditional and integral part of the diet of a modern person. They play an important role in human nutrition and life. In particular, a glass of milk or kefir at night is believed to promote good sleep.
There are undoubtedly people who do not like milk and derivatives at all. Still, most people consider dairy products as an essential part of their diet. Taking into account the fact that nutritionists and doctors do not recommend eating enough before bedtime, and it is quite difficult to fall asleep completely on an empty stomach, it is dairy products (not too high in calories, but nutritious) that can solve this problem.
Is it good to drink milk?
Milk is actually the first product that the human body takes after birth. It contains many vitamins and minerals, in particular calcium necessary for bones, has a low calorie content, and tastes good. Warm milk with a little honey is an excellent remedy for a sore throat, and it works great as a preventive measure.
But there is a significant drawback - milk is very poorly absorbed by the adult body - no more than thirty percent of the amount taken, but how much can you drink at a time? This means that milk is rather poorly digested, which can lead to heaviness in the stomach and other unpleasant sensations that usually interfere with healthy sleep. Therefore, you need to drink milk at least a couple of hours before bedtime, if you like its taste, or from your point of view, the positive aspects cover this negative.
Israeli scientists believe that regular consumption of warm milk helps fight obesity.
Why is it useful to drink kefir at night?
Kefir is a fermented milk product, which means that it contains special bacteria, similar to those that live in the microflora of the human stomach.
Kefir is produced artificially, special beneficial bacteria are added to it, after which the drink is sent for sale. Kefir cleanses the human body, promotes digestion, prevents the onset of dysbiosis and other unpleasant phenomena. Do not drink too much kefir. If you are on a diet, choose one percent fat kefir, the fattier kefir is suitable both for consumption in its pure form and for baking.
There are actually completely fat-free types of kefir that are great for consumption during a diet. But you need to get used to their taste first.
If there are no special problems or allergic reactions to this drink, it is absorbed by the body more easily and faster than milk, so it can be drunk just before going to bed.
