Milk is rich in protein and other nutrients, so the elderly often drink milk, but not all the elderly are suitable for drinking milk. It is better for the elderly to eat yogurt or sugar-free skim pure milk.

1. Yogurt is rich in intestinal probiotics and protein, which has good effects of regulating intestinal flora, promoting digestion, stimulating appetite, supplementing nutrition and enhancing immunity, and is especially suitable for elderly patients with digestive system diseases and malnutrition.

2. Sugar-free skim pure milk is mainly made of high-quality protein and minerals, which has little effect on blood lipid and blood sugar, and is especially suitable for the elderly with diabetes, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, pure milk also has a good calcium supplement effect, which is very suitable for the elderly with osteoporosis.

Third, in addition, elderly patients with long-term constipation can also drink goat milk, which has the function of clearing fire and relaxing bowels, and its nutritional value is also high.

Under normal circumstances, the elderly can drink one or two bags of milk every day. Because with the increase of age, the digestive function and chewing ability of the elderly may be relatively poor. Therefore, the absorption rate of various foods is also low, and milk can ensure the daily nutritional needs of the elderly, especially the demand for calcium.

It is recommended not to drink milk on an empty stomach. Because gastric acid can coagulate protein, which makes it difficult for human body to absorb, and it will also destroy immune substances in milk.
