Hello, we welcome you to another issue of nutrition insights!
In this issue, we talk about “Milk”
Milk is essentially an emulsion of fat and protein in water, along with dissolved sugar (carbohydrates), minerals, and vitamins. These constituents are present in the milk of all mammals, though their proportions differ from one species to another and within species.
Did you know, one cup(240ml) of cow’s milk contains roughly about 150 calories, of which 88% is water, 11.7 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat, 12.3 grams of sugar, 7.7 grams of protein, and 0% fiber?
In this issue, we talk about the basic nutritional composition and significance of milk and milk products. We cover topics such as different types of milk and different alternatives of dairy milk and their types. we also shed light on the health benefits of drinking milk every day and also educate you about lactose intolerance.
As September is celebrated as a national nutrition month, we have also enclosed and talked about topics on this year’s theme, like Shishu poshan and traditional foods for women and children in the tribal areas.
This issue also features articles on one of the most trending nondairy milk like “Oat and almond milk”, their importance, health benefit and uses, etc. We, as always, bring to you some common myths around milk with facts, along with some yummy, easy-to-make, healthy recipes, and gives you a chance to feature your recipes and expertise in our upcoming issues!
