Think again if you're giving milk to your child as first meal in the morning, especially on an empty stomach. ✅️Milk is considered super food bcoz it contains all the essential amino acids, making it a complete protien source. But it has potential effects when consumed on an empty stomach. ➡️LACKS COMPLEX CARBS: It lacks complex carbs and fiber, which is important for sustained energy and digestion. ➡️HARD TO DIGEST ON EMPTY STOMACH: If taken on an empty stomach, it may cause bloating and gas in some kids, especially if they're lactose intolerant. ➡️REDUCE APPETITE: It is quite filling and reduces a child's appetite for other nutrient-dense foods. ➡️CAUSE RAPID SUGAR SPIKE: Milk contains natural sugar lactose,further converts into glucose, which cause rapid sugar spikes. ➡️EFFECTS EATING HABITS ON LONG TERM:It makes children depend on it like a quick meal, making them skip nutrient rich foods & this can affect eating habits in long run. ✔️WHAT TO DO INSTEAD? ✅️Milk is a complex food that can be better digested when consumed with other foods, which can help with the breakdown of lactose. ✅️One glass of water for hydration to break that dehydration from sleep. ✅️Serve dry fruits or nuts as first thing in the morning. ✅️Always give milk to children after breakfast. ✅️Drinking milk alongside other foods, especially those that are high in fibre, can help slow down digestion and reduce the likelihood of digestive issues. ✅️Include eggs in the breakfast. Like scrambled, toast,omlet, or boiled. ✅️Pair them with foods like upma,dosa,idly. ✅️Always include a fruit in breakfast time. ✔️Further doubts or queries feel free to DM me ➡️Follow me for more child nutrition related information
