Milk with eggs or bread is the best breakfast combination, but some people only drink milk and don't eat other food. Nutrition experts believe that drinking milk on an empty stomach for breakfast has many disadvantages.
First, if you drink milk on an empty stomach, the milk can't be fully hydrolyzed, and the protein inside will soon be converted into energy and consumed, so the nutrients can't be well digested and absorbed. Some adults have the habit of drinking milk in the morning, which is unscientific. The reason is that after a night's sleep, people's stomachs have already been emptied, ready to eat and digest food. At this time, their stomachs are also emptied quickly. Milk is liquid milk, so their stomachs are excreted faster. Some people may also have symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. This is because lactase is rarely produced in the body, and a lot of milk is drunk on an empty stomach. Lactose in milk can not be digested in time, but is decomposed by bacteria in the intestine, producing a lot of gas and acid, stimulating intestinal contraction, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Second, drinking milk on an empty stomach is discharged into the intestine before it is fully digested and absorbed in the stomach, resulting in the loss of nutrients. Milk is rich in high quality protein. The main function of these protein is to form new tissues of human body, and also to repair the original tissues. Third, if you drink milk on an empty stomach, not only will the milk be quickly discharged from your stomach, but the above-mentioned precious protein will also be decomposed by your body and consumed as heat, which will not give full play to protein's due role. Some amino acids are discharged into the large intestine before being absorbed by the small intestine. In the small intestine, protein and amino acids are decomposed into substances harmful to human body, which increases the burden on human body.

Third, when drinking milk in the morning, we should eat some starchy foods such as steamed bread, rice, bread, biscuits and snacks at the same time, so that milk can stay in people's stomachs for a long time, milk and gastric juice can be fully hydrolyzed, and protein can be well digested and absorbed. Experts suggest that it is best to eat some other foods before drinking milk, or drink milk while eating food, which can reduce the lactose concentration in the body and be beneficial to the absorption of nutrients in milk. ※.
