Common knowledge tells us that dairy is good for growth and your over all health. Is this really the case? Let's uncover the truth to what lactose is, why we need it, and what alternatives there are for us.

1. Dairy, Lactose, and The Holy
Grail of Weight Loss
By Russ Nagamori
Many have asked why I will purposely advise a
person to cut out all dairy from their daily diets.
It is one of the best things that one can do to
increase their weight loss progress. They also
question lactose consumption (or lack of) when
choosing not to consume dairy.
In general, dairy usually lacks adequate
nutrients. What the dairy businesses do then is
“enrich” the dairy products. This means they
add nutrients in it. And surprising enough, dairy
usually has a low measurement of Calcium. If
you added dark leafy greens into you daily diet
you would receive more Calcium than you
would milk. It would be much cheaper as well.
As babies we need milk as we cannot chew and
digest other food. Milk provides us with some
nutrients and energy that we initially need to
grow. If breast fed, a baby can also absorb the
antibodies from the mother and create a
stronger immune system.
Let’s Grow Big and Strong
Supplementing
Lactose is very important for our growth when
we are new to this world. Lactose is a sugar
molecule that is found in milk and other dairy
products. Inside the intestines, an enzyme
known as Lactase is produced in order to digest
Lactose. (With people that are Lactose
Intolerant, their intestines don’t produce
enough Lactase. This makes it hard to digest
Lactose). Its main function is to help energize
the body. Energy is essential to promote growth
and movement in the human body. The best
part is that you don’t need milk as an adult. You
can receive natural sugars that will promote the
same growth by eating healthy foods.
The Lack Of
Almond Milk seems to be the new craze for
people who are lactose intolerant. It’s also a
trend for people who know that milk is not a
necessity. Any product to take the place of milk
is not necessary. If we really think about it,
when we are told that milk is good and we are
trying to lose weight, we are drinking a
substance with a high fat content. Not only is
there a high fat content, but if we fail to burn
off the energy we get from the lactose in milk –
it stores the extras in your fat cells.
The Conclusion
If we are trying to lose weight, we can avoid
dairy completely. Your body won’t miss it. It’s
not just the fact that we don’t need Lactose as

get an energy supply from other foods as well.
Complex Carbohydrates are a great source for
energy as they are the body’s primary source of
energy.
