As we all know milk is a rich source of calcium, vitamin D, B complex and protein. That means overall it is a complete diet. Often elders and experts in the house also advise to include milk in the diet. This contributes to better bone health. But do you know that drinking more milk than required can cause harm instead of benefits? Let us know from the experts what could be the side effects of drinking too much milk. DrBhushanBhole, Senior Consultant GI Liver Transplant of PSRI Hospital is giving information about this.
What problems can occur from drinking too much milk?
Digestion related complaint
Drinking too much milk can cause digestive problems. In this, you may complain of cramps, bloating, indigestion, and diarrhoea. If your body can't break down lactose properly, it passes through the digestive tract and is broken down by intestinal bacteria. Due to this, gas formation and digestive problems may occur.
Leaky-gut syndrome
If your body is not suitable for milk then due to this you can become a victim of leaky-gut syndrome. Due to this, you may remain lethargic and tired all the time. There may be a complaint of constant headaches.
Acne problem
You may suffer from acne and pimples. If acne and spots appear repeatedly on your face, then you should pay attention to how much milk you are drinking every day. Some chemicals present in milk may cause breakout problems.
Weight gain
The amount of calories in milk is also high, so if you want to maintain weight then you should avoid milk or consume it in very small quantities. If you don't drink too much milk, you may gain weight.
Iron deficiency
Drinking too much milk can cause iron deficiency. Milk can interfere with iron absorption. You may have an anaemia problem. In such a situation, if you depend only on milk for nutrition, then change this habit from today itself.
