A senior doctor said that to absorb calcium from milk in adults is very difficult and yogurt should be used for the purpose. Also, how important is to drink milk in adults Experts opinion required Regards
its important to drink milk. 2 3 serving of dairy products should be take. 1 serving can be 1 cup milk, 2/3 cup yogurt , 1 slice cheese. but for adults its important to substitute some agents like vitamin c in diet. as well as take calcium supplements. for further detail. you can book an appointment
Because calcium take with sugar it ‘ll deminished the calcium absorption as well either it is in yoghurt form or milk. For further details,book appointment
Milk has Calcium, phosphorus ,B2 ,protein etc it is good for health . I would also like to add here a hadith with shows the significance of having milk
In another authentic hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) said, “There is hardly a disease that has been sent by Allah except He has provided a cure for it. Hence, get yourself treated by cow's milk for indeed I hope that Allah will put cure in it as it eats from all types of trees.” (Tabarani, Nasai, and Ahmad).
so I would recommend you to have both in your diet on daily basis. Diversify your dairy intake by adding variety. To know more about it you can book and appointment and have a session on diet.
no matter if u take milk or yogurt calcium will b same yes yogurt gives u probiotics
Milk is usually fortified with Vitamin D. So it can be absorbed.
You can add 1 cup of milk, multi vitamin pill and 1 cup yogurt everyday.
for calcium absorption ur vit D intake should be good enough so ur body can absorb calcium from both milk and milk products.if vit D deficiency is there than you should take vitamin D supplement as well for its good absorption.
Dairy foods have a bioavailablity of approximately 30% absorption so if a food label on milk lists 300 mg of calcium per cup, about 100 mg will be absorbed and used by the body. And to increase calcium ,your body needs Vit D fir it's absorption
Unless there is lactose intolerance, CKD or severe diarrhea. One should include low fat milk and yogurt in diet daily. Not only for calcium and phosphorus but for Protein dnd other vitamins as well.
if u dont have vit D deficiency then there is no difficulty to absorb cal.these two vit D and calcium both are essential for eachother.thats right to consume milk and yogurt daily and also take supplement of vit D or the best source of vit D is sunlight in the morning Which will absorb a good quantity of vit D.
