Drink Milk to Keep Bones Strong by webmd

Drink Milk to Keep Bones Strong

Calcium and vitamin D help keep bones strong. Strong bones can keep you on your feet, and prevent falls that can damage joints. Dairy products are the best sources of calcium, but other options are green, leafy vegetables like broccoli and kale. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, ask your doctor about supplements.

It is a mistake to link it to poor health, says THE GLOBE AND MAIL's dietitian, Leslie Beck ( Milk (cow) is a convenient way to get nutrients vitamin D and calcium and protein)

It is a mistake to link it to poor health, says THE GLOBE AND MAIL's dietitian, Leslie Beck

Harvard professor of pediatrics David Ludwig, MD, points out that milk – even unsweetened milk – is high in sugar. But it’s a mistake to link it to poor health, says the Globe’s dietitian, Leslie Beck.

While she agrees with Harvard professor of pediatrics David Ludwig, MD, on the calcium front – we don’t need milk to get our daily dose of calcium – she cautions about getting too concerned with fat content when it comes to kids and milk. “What kid is going to eat cooked collard greens to get calcium?”

“Dairy provides calcium and protein, and most kids will drink it,” she says. “There are bigger fish to fry: Instead of worrying about that glass of milk, let’s take a look at their meals and snack foods, cereal bars, goldfish crackers, cookies – things that kids are eating that spike their blood sugar and increase premature hunger.”

Beck also cautions against looking at sugar as a dietary thermometer for health: I was shocked to read my tiny carton of fat-free skim milk had 11 grams of sugar.

“That’s naturally occurring – that’s lactose, not added sugar,” she says. “Most people read the labels on milk and yogurt and say ‘oh my god!’, but you’ve got to think that’s naturally occurring. You’re getting so many other nutrients along with that sugar.”

As for cow milk’s place in the human diet, Beck says, that’s a different kettle of fish – or, er, cattle.

Cow’s milk has been so culturally accepted – but wouldn’t my colleagues have shunned me if I opted for a carton of say, horse milk – or worse, human milk? To Ludwig’s point – why is cow milk, or any animal milk, acceptable?

“That’s pretty controversial, isn’t it?” says Beck, who says she sticks to a plant-based diet. “You can get a lot of nutrients from cow’s milk – vitamin D, calcium, protein – but you don’t need milk to have a great diet, that’s for sure.”

Lowfat Milk May Not Be As Healthy As We Thought, Says Harvard professor of pediatrics David Ludwig, MD

Got milk? Well, you might not really need it, according to the current issue of JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Pediatrics. Reduced-fat milk is high in sugar and may be contributing to the obesity epidemic, argues Harvard professor of pediatrics David Ludwig, MD.

In fact, Ludwig says, humans evolved on a diet free of milk, and milk consumption in general is nutritionally unnecessary, as a healthy diet can provide adequate calcium through beans, nuts, green leafy vegetables, and certain types of fish. (Of course, ask any parent; getting kids to eat greens, nuts and fish is another story.)

Am I allergic to Inulin? I stopped taking milk with Inulin on 2013-11-11.

This post was edited on 2014-05-02.

Note: As at 2014-05-02, I am still taking Anlene 50+ milk without Inulin on and off and have not mouth ulcers. I also use Anlene 50+ milk to make bread with my bread maker. No mouth ulcers too.

Last update on 2013-12-18: More than one month after I stooped taking Anlene milk baru FOS Inulin, on 2013-12-18, I suddenly realized that the painful mouth ulcer on my lower lip mentioned the original post (See below) has completely gone!

I am not sure whether I am allergic to Inulin or not. Or the aforesaid painful mouth ulcer on my lower lip was due to some other reason. 

To be fair to the milk with Inulin, my mouth ulcer might be due to other foods or some unknown reasons! I don't know.

Original post on 2013-11-13:

I started to take kind of milk with Inulin on 28 Oct 2013. Since that day, I have got mouth ulcer on the right side of my lower lip. I don't know whether it is due to Inulin.  Am I allergy to Inulin? So I stopped taking milk with Inulin on 2014-11-11 used in multi whole grain cereal and  homemade bread making. Till today (2013-11-13), the mouth is still not healed. I need to wait for at least two more weeks to confirm the problem source is Inulin.

Anlene milk with FOS Inulin for 19 - 50 years old : On 2013-10-18, Ibought two packets of 1-KG Anlene milk for adult 19 - 50 years old withadded FOS Inulin at S$16.50 each

On 2013-10-18, I bought two packets of 1-KG  Anlene milk for adult 19 - 50 years old with added FOS Inulin at S$16.50 each. Product of New Zealand but packed in Malaysia. The shop is Ang Mo Supermarket at Bishan St 24 Blk 279. 

FOS Inulin can help the absorption of calcium in the milk, according to label on the packaging. 

I bought this milk mainly for adding it to my cereal of multi whole grains, nuts, beans and seeds after the current Anlene milk (50+) is used up.

So does the crew at The Doctor Oz Show walk the walk?  Check out this list of backstage snacks and judge for yourself:

(1) Hard-boiled eggs 
(2) Walnuts 
(3) Greek yogurt with low-fat granola

Nations That Consume a Lot of Milk Also Win a Lot of Nobel Prizes

Jan. 14, 2013 — Nations that consume a lot of milk and milk products also tend to have a lot of Nobel laureates among their populations, suggest the authors of a letter, published in Practical Neurology.

Is milk consumption therefore simply a reflection of a strong educational system, or do Nobel Prize winners celebrate by drinking it, query the authors?
But there is a plausible biological explanation for the link: milk is rich in vitamin D, and this may boost brain power, the evidence suggests.

Which Foods Have the Most Calcium?

Which Foods Have the Most Calcium?

Drinking a glass of vitamin D-fortified milk is one of the best ways to get your calcium. 

Other dairy products vary in their calcium content. 

Yogurt and cheese are better choices than ice cream or frozen yogurt. 

Fish, such as sardines and salmon, are good sources. 

Fortified foods, such as cereals and orange juice, can also provide a lot of calcium.

Eat Protein-Rich Foods to Boost Alertness (tyrosine)

Eat Protein-Rich Foods to Boost Alertness (tyrosine)

Foods rich in protein, like turkey, tuna, or chicken, are rich in an amino acid called tyrosine. 

Tyrosine may help boost levels of the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine. This boost helps you feel alert and makes it easier to concentrate. 

Try to include a protein source in your diet several times a day, especially when you need to clear your mind and boost your energy.

Good sources of healthy proteins: 

beans and peas, lean beef, low-fat cheese, fish, milk, poultry, soy products, yogurt

Top 10 Stress-Fighting Foods and 4 Foods to Avoid (From todaysdietitian.com)

Info source:

http://www.todaysdietitian.com/healthandnutrition/health/fight-stress-with-food.shtml

Top 10 Stress-Fighting Foods

1. Spinach contains magnesium, which helps improve your body’s response to stress and may prevent migraine headaches.
2. Asparagus is a good source of folic acid, which produces serotonin and helps stabilize mood.
3. Beef helps stabilize mood by supplying zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
4. Dairy products such as milk and cottage cheese provide protein and calcium.
5. Nuts and seeds are good stress-fighting snacks. In addition to containing vitamin B12, magnesium, and zinc, almonds also provide vitamin E, which, like vitamin C, fights stress-related free radicals that cause heart disease. Walnuts and pistachios are known to lower blood pressure. Sunflower seeds include folate, which helps produce dopamine, a pleasure-inducing brain chemical.
6. Fruits such as oranges and blueberries contain vitamin C, which fights cancer-causing free radicals. Blueberries also counteract the effect of hormones such as cortisol, and bananas provide potassium, which lowers blood pressure.
7. Fish containing omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, can boost serotonin levels and limit the production of anxiety hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
8. Avocados are a good source of monounsaturated fat and potassium, which lower blood pressure.
9. Milk, including skim milk, is high in antioxidants and vitamins B2 and B12 and also provides protein and calcium, which can reduce muscle spasms and tension and soothe PMS.
10. Crispy rice cereal or corn flakes aren’t necessarily low in sugar; however, they offer B vitamins and folic acid, which reduce stress. Have a bowl of whole-grain cereal with milk for a stress-fighting breakfast.

4 Foods to Avoid
1. Caffeine, found in coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate, can cause anxiety and raise stress hormone levels.
2. Sugar causes spikes in blood glucose levels and increases insulin. This affects your adrenal glands, which regulate stress hormones and help the thyroid regulate body weight.
3. Trans fatty acids such as hydrogenated vegetable oil are found in many baked goods and can hinder the immune system and increase the risk of heart disease.
4. Alcohol puts more sugar in the body, and excessive consumption can damage the adrenal glands.
