JAKARTA - Not infrequently milk is considered as one of the food ingredients that can make weight rise and become fat. However, it should be noted that this assumption is not entirely correct. Quoting from Healthline, milk is a calorie solid food that is rich in protein, carbohydrates, hingg calcium. Drinking milk is actually related to the low decline in muscle mass related to age. Regular breast drink can increase muscle mass and reduce body fat. This is because in milk there is protein content. In cow milk there are two main types of protein, namely whey protein and kasein. Both are considered good quality proteins, with the proportion of high essential amino acids and good skin power.Whey protein is rich in branch chain amino acids, such as leucine, isoleucine, and vaccines. Proteins of this type are claimed to be very good and beneficial for muscle growth and maintenance in the body. Milk containing protein is indeed able to help increase weight, especially if accompanied by regular exercise. However, when weight gains, what increases is muscle mass, not fat in the body. For those who are on a diet lowering weight, drinking milk is not a prohibited thing. Drinking milk is very permissible, but must pay attention to the type of milk.

It is better to drink skim milk or low-fat milk, if you want to drink milk when you lose weight. If you still want to drink milk full of fat, pay attention to the total daily calorie intake properly. Thus, basically milk does not interfere directly in weight gain. It is also published in the Journal of Advances in Nutrition which was published in 2019. Weight gain is caused by many factors, not just milk. This factor includes food and drink intake that may not be healthy, or the absence of exercise activities.
