For the elderly, drinking skimmed milk powder is better because it is processed milk powder with less fat content, which won't cause weight gain after drinking. It is beneficial to the physical health of the elderly. However, compared to whole milk powder, the taste of skimmed milk powder is not that good, so many elderly people find it less suitable.
1. Generally, anyone can drink whole milk because it contains all the components of milk, making it taste the best. It is especially suitable for children, adolescents, pregnant women, etc.
2. For those with extreme nutritional deficiencies, drinking whole milk is the best choice. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are common diseases among the elderly, so they can choose skimmed milk. People with diabetes and obesity should also drink skimmed milk.
3. During the process of skimming milk, some healthy fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, also disappear. Moreover, the lack of vitamins A and D can affect the body's absorption of calcium.
4. The original "fragrant and rich" taste of milk also disappears. In fact, people have a deep misunderstanding of "whole milk." Compared to foods containing more than 20% fat, such as animal organs and cream products, the fat content in whole milk is not unusual, containing only 3.7% to 5% fat. Unless you have special conditions such as diabetes or hyperlipidemia, you can drink whole milk.
