Milk is a good thing. It is nutritious and tastes good. It is very suitable for growing children and sick people. We have seen on TV dramas that people eat bread and drink milk in the morning, especially in Western countries. We have also seen people drinking milk before going to bed at night. So everyone is wondering, when is the best time to drink milk? Is it good to drink milk before going to bed at night? Now let me introduce it to you in detail. Milk has a hypnotic and sedative effect. Morning is the time when people study and work with vigorous energy. Drinking milk makes people feel drowsy, which is not conducive to study and work. Therefore, it is best not to drink milk on an empty stomach in the morning. It is best to drink milk at night, because milk contains L-tryptophan, a biochemical that can make people tired and sleepy, and trace amounts of morphine-like substances. These substances have certain sedative and hypnotic effects, especially L-tryptophan, which is the main raw material for the brain to synthesize serotonin. Serotonin plays a key role in brain sleep. It can temporarily inhibit the brain's thinking activities, making people want to sleep, and it has no side effects. Moreover, milk sticks to the stomach wall and is well absorbed. The calcium in milk can also remove tension, so it is more beneficial for the elderly to sleep. Therefore, it is good to drink milk at night, which is conducive to people's rest and sleep. Drinking milk before going to bed is beneficial to the body's absorption and utilization of calcium. Most of the calcium consumed at dinner is absorbed and utilized by the body before going to bed. After sleeping, especially after midnight, the calcium level in the blood will gradually decrease. The decrease in blood calcium promotes hyperparathyroidism. Hormones act on bone tissue, causing part of the calcium salts in the bone tissue to dissolve into the blood to maintain a stable balance of blood calcium. This dissolution effect is the body's self-regulating function. Over time, it will become one of the causes of osteoporosis. Drinking milk before going to bed at night, the calcium in the milk can be slowly absorbed by the blood, and the blood calcium is replenished and balanced throughout the night. There is no need to dissolve the calcium in the bones, thus preventing bone loss and osteoporosis. Therefore, it is good to drink milk before going to bed. Drinking milk at night can help you sleep; on the other hand, drinking milk at night will not increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, killing two birds with one stone. It is best to drink milk half an hour before going to bed, because drinking too much water before going to bed may cause eyelid swelling. However, milk has a high concentration and theoretically is unlikely to cause swelling. Milk is rich in protein and children tend to drink more of it. Before drinking milk, you should eat some foods rich in starch, such as steamed bread. If you drink milk in the morning, you must eat other foods, such as rice, bread, biscuits and snacks, etc., which can make the milk stay in the stomach longer and absorb the nutrients in it well. |
