Milk, is it good or bad for our body?

Some people know that consume milk can improve our health. Some say it is good for the bone. Therefore, there are many milk products for different purposes. Milk for baby with additional AA and DHA substances, Milk products for old man which contain more additional calcium, and Milk for young man growth are the examples.

Animal's Milk is not for human.

Does it make a sense if we have the same milk but have the different result in each product? I think most of manufactures produce a product which disguise in milk which in the society assumed as a healthy drink. Cow’s milk may have higher protein and mineral, but it also has high lactose. Cow’s milk are well-designed by God for cow’s calves. In the wild life, cow’s calves need to stand and learn to walk in minutes to be able surviving from the predator.

In the other hand, human growth is different with cows. So, consuming cow’s milk with higher protein and mineral is useless. Our body won’t be able to absorb all the substances. Even high lactose in the cow’s milk may lead you to a health problem, such as allergic or diarrhea.

Some people, especially women, drink milk to avoid osteoporosis. However, milk is not the best way to obtain calcium that strengthens our bones. Some studies said that milk is more likely improving the risk of osteoporosis rather than prevents it.

So, what do you think? Is animal’s milk healthy or unhealthy?

To have a healthy body, human should reach the homeostasis condition. What is homeostasis? It is the condition of human having the balance PH. There are three kind of PH, such as: acidic, neutral and alkalinity. See the picture below for the brief explanation.

Human PH Determine Body Health

So, rather than picking foods for a slimming or muscular body, food combining is giving the right food to your body.

Foods Selection

Fruits and Vegetables boost the body health.

In common diet, people tend to rearrange their diet based on some particular purposes. For example: for a good muscle, people eat more animal proteins. In fact, our digestion system seems slowly processing that kind of foods. When our digestion gets in trouble, your body health will be reduced. The food suggested in this diet is fruits and vegetables. 

Circadian Rhythm

Based on the biological process, our body conducts a circadian rhythm in 24 hours. There are three processes of circadian rhythm. In the morning at 04.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m., the body actively takes out digestion residue through, urine, sweat and feces. In the afternoon 12.00 p.m. to 20.00 p.m., it is the time for food digestion process. And the last phase of circadian rhythm is the food absorption process between 20.00 p.m. to 04.00 a.m. 

The three aspects discussed above are really important matter in Food Combining. Getting the body in the homeostasis condition is the main purpose. With the balance PH, you will get healthier body.
