Milk is a very good source of nutrients for health because it is rich in protein, fat and vitamins and high in calcium, which helps the body to develop health. Drinking milk at any time of the day is beneficial, but depending on the purpose of use, the effect is different.

1. Drink milk in the morning to provide protein for the body:

Milk provides the necessary amount of protein and calcium, in addition to minerals such as potassium, magnesium and vitamins, providing enough energy for a day. If you are a person who does exercises in the morning, you should also drink milk in the morning to provide the body with protein and calcium lost due to exercise. At this time, the body needs to compensate for calcium and protein for bone growth.

2. Drink milk in the evening to improve your height:

Milk contains a lot of calcium, which helps to strengthen healthy bones and fully develop the nutrients that the body needs to recover and produce energy for the new day. If you want to increase height, you should drink a glass of milk about 2 hours before going to bed. This is the most suitable time for bones to grow because bones will receive about 300g of calcium, which is valuable for bone growth and development.

3. Drink milk to improve sleep:

If you have sleep problems and insomnia, drink milk at night before going to bed. The nutrients in milk will help you relax and improve your sleep quality. In addition, if your body is tired from work and wants to relax, you should drink milk at night. Amino acids help the brain create nerve stimulants, creating joy and excitement, reducing fatigue and pressure.

You should not drink milk when: 

• When you are losing weight, drinking milk at night is a serious mistake. This time, although good in many cases, will cause some digestive problems such as bloating, belching, indigestion and lead to colitis.
• When you are hungry and drink milk, the protein will not be broken down into amino acids, the small intestine can not absorb and push into the colon to form toxic compounds.

Some of the individuals should not drink or limit milk intake, including:

• People with lactose intolerance or milk allergy: Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest the sugar lactose found in milk, thereby causing bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
• People with diabetes or poor blood sugar control: Because milk contains lactose, a type of sugar that can raise blood sugar levels.

In case you can’t drink regular milk, you can replace it by drinking plant-based milk such as almond, onion, cashew and hemp milk. People with diabetes should drink milk without sugar and with less additives.
