“Everyone has tried, but does not remember the taste” is a well-known mystery about breast milk. Indeed, milk is the first human food. It contains a lot of useful substances, without it the correct growth of the child is impossible. However, milk can be different: cow, goat, mare. It can be boiled, sterilized, ultra-pasteurized - but it's all about the milk that is sold in stores. And I want to talk about a completely separate type of milk - steam.
Don't let yourself be fooled
Many people buy milk in the market, from grandmothers, in large three-liter cans. Grandmothers advertise it as a pair, and we are "led" by this marketing ploy. But here it is worth knowing that only milk that is obtained directly from a cow (or a goat and a mare) is considered fresh. And it carries the title of doubles only 4 hours after milking. Fresh milk has the temperature of the cow itself, and in cold weather, steam rises from it. Grandmothers, on the other hand, stand in the market from early morning until closing, in the sun. And you shouldn't trust the quality of their milk. Or you need to arrive at the market before the opening itself. Then there is still a chance to buy real fresh milk.
Safety when using fresh milk
The purchased milk should be boiled over. This will kill disease-causing organisms that begin to multiply in fresh milk as soon as it stops being paired - that is, 4 hours after milking. Also, if you bought real fresh milk, but did not drink it during these four hours, it also needs to be boiled. And also about the safety of buying fresh milk - ideally, you should know the animal from which you are buying milk. See all the necessary sanitary documents confirming that the animal is healthy. It is also a good idea to know the owner herself to be sure that the animal is kept clean. And also - to know on which fields the cows graze, whether they consume pure ecological products. Or they are fed with chemicals and antibiotics. But this is possible only in rural areas, when city dwellers come to rest at their dachas and buy milk from the village permanent residents.
The benefits of fresh milk
First, milk is a source of calcium. Therefore, it is especially useful for children and the elderly - in children, the skeleton is just forming, and in the elderly, fragility of bones is observed. Milk is also good for teeth.
Secondly, milk is a source of protein. It nourishes and promotes muscle growth. Therefore, bodybuilders often use milk, including fresh milk.
Thirdly, milk contains vitamin B1, which strengthens the nervous system.
Fourthly, milk contains vitamin A, which is needed for the health of the skin and mucous membranes.
Fifth, milk has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.
These are the general properties of milk, but in fresh milk, all these properties are multiplied several times. The benefits of fresh milk are significantly greater than any milk in the package.
And finally, fresh milk, unlike store-bought milk, contains a whole bunch of beneficial bacteria that strengthen the immune system. However, 4 hours after milking, when the milk stops steaming, these bacteria are destroyed.
Caution, children
Many parents, knowing about the benefits of fresh milk, specially go to the village for the summer to drink milk for the child there, strengthening his health. However, there is a nuance here - fresh cow's milk is very fatty, it is categorically not suitable for babies. If you want to give fresh milk to a one-year-old child, it must be diluted with water 50 to 50. It is much better for the child's body - fresh milk, but only goat's. In terms of its composition, goat's milk is as close as possible to mother's, so children tolerate it well and even love it.
In any case, the benefits of fresh milk outweigh the difficulties of where to get it and how to store it. By the way, many people don't like the taste of fresh milk. Yes, fresh milk is short-lived, and its taste is really specific. But your immunity, bones, nerves, skin, muscles will say a huge thank you for each glass of this drink.
