4 Alternatives to Dairy Milk Parents Should Consider

January 28, 2022in news 0 Comments 3 Likes

It seems like every day there’s a new study out touting the benefits of one food or another. So, when it comes to non-dairy milk, parents may be a little confused about what to believe. Is soy milk difficult to digest? Are almonds a good source of protein?

In this article, we’ll talk about everything parents need to know about non-dairy milk, including the benefits and drawbacks of various types. We’ll also discuss how to choose the right type of non-dairy milk for your child’s individual needs.

Non-dairy milk simply means milk that doesn’t come from a cow. There are many different types of non-dairy milk, including soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, and coconut milk. Each type has its own unique set of benefits.

Soy Milk:

Soy milk is made from soybeans or soya, and it’s the most popular type of non-dairy milk. Soy milk is an excellent source of protein. It also contains antioxidants that can help protect against cancer and heart disease. The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in soy milk can provide important health benefits. For example, the forms of vitamin B found in soy milk are important for helping your body maintain your nerve cells and DNA. They can also help you avoid certain forms of anemia, which can prevent tiredness and fatigue.

Soy milk contains phytoestrogens, which are plant-based hormones that can mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. For this reason, some people believe that soy milk can increase hormonal imbalance in men, but research has shown that it does not affect the hormones (testosterone) in males.

Almond milk:

Almond milk is made from almonds. It’s a good source of calcium, vitamin E, and magnesium. Almond milk also contains antioxidants that can help protect against cancer and heart disease.

It has a pleasant, nutty flavor and a creamy texture similar to that of regular milk. For this reason, it is a popular choice for people following a vegan diet and those who are allergic or intolerant to dairy.

You can find almond milk in most supermarkets, usually in the health food section. It is also very easy to make at home.

However, almond milk contains small amounts of protein and vitamin B12. It also has a high quantity of calories, which can be a problem for people who are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. So, taking it in small amounts is best. Pulse NG
