What is the first choice of souvenir when visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year? (Leave a message in the comments section)

For families with elderly and children, it is usually a good idea to give a box of milk as a gift. The reason is that milk and dairy products are considered to be nutritious and healthy foods, and are also a good choice for gifts.

There is so much milk in this small convenience store!

As the demand increases, the types of milk become more diverse: milk powder, fresh milk, pure milk, yogurt, cheese... But what kind of milk should people of different ages drink to get nutrition?

Which kind of dairy products are nutritious and healthy, so that people can buy them without any loss, drink them with confidence, and feel comfortable giving them as gifts? After reading this article, I believe you will find the answer!

According to the Chinese Balanced Diet Pagoda (2016), 300g of milk and dairy products should be consumed daily.

Except for infants, fresh milk, pure milk and yogurt are basically suitable for people of all ages to drink, and are also the first choice for daily intake of milk and dairy products.

Of course, if you prefer to drink goat milk or buffalo milk, that's fine too. The main nutrients of various types of milk are not much different.

When buying fresh milk, you should adhere to the "proximity principle", that is, the milk should be produced by ranches and factories near your residence, and the packaging should preferably be kept away from light, so that the milk will be fresher.

Unlike fresh milk, pure milk has a longer shelf life, so it is recommended to choose a dairy company that has its own pastures, as the quality of the milk source is relatively more guaranteed.

Since we drink milk mainly to ingest high-quality protein and calcium, from these two aspects, there is no difference between fresh milk and pure milk.

When choosing yogurt, you should adhere to the word "purity" and avoid the word "flavor" when selecting yogurt, thus avoiding the intake of large amounts of sugar without realizing it.

You can give priority to products with names such as yogurt (milk), sour milk (milk) or fermented milk.

If you feel that this type of yogurt is not very palatable, you can eat it with fruits and nuts, especially mango and dragon fruit which are sweet in taste are good choices.

In addition to the three types of milk recommended above, people of different age groups can also choose the following dairy products.

Every time I finish drinking milk, my stomach hurts and swells, and in severe cases I have diarrhea... These are all manifestations of lactose intolerance, and this symptom is not "exclusive" to children, many adults also have this problem, such as me.

However, for adults who are lactose intolerant, they can just choose lactose-free dairy products. But for babies whose main food is "milk", this is not so simple.

The Lunar New Year is only 4 days away. I wonder if you have gone home to reunite with your family this year?

The New Year is inseparable from visiting relatives and friends. It is better to choose the right gift than an expensive one. Bring a box of "suitable milk" and health and blessings will always be with you!
