Dream - Not everyone can drink milk sold in the market. Some people have lactose intolerance conditions that can cause digestive problems, so the lactose content in milk must be considered.

Lactose Allergy in Milk? Don't Worry, There Are Still Other Sources of Calcium

Laktosa sendiri merupakan jenis gula yang ditemukan secara alami dalam susu sapi. Mereka yang mengalami lactose intolerance harus mencari sumber nutrisi selain dari susu sapi. Beberapa jenis susu maupun olahannya juga telah berlabel lactose free atau bebas laktosa, sehingga aman dikonsumsi untuk orang yang mengalami lactose intolerance.

"If Dream friends are still confused in finding alternative sources of nutrition from cow's milk, especially to obtain vitamin D and calcium intake, please read the following tips."

1. Cereal

Friends of Dream who experience lactose intolerance can consume cereal, juice, or bread for breakfast as a substitute for milk. Some cereals contain 1,000 mg of calcium in one serving, you know.

2. Lactose-Free Milk

If Dream's friends still want to drink milk with cereal or mixed with coffee for breakfast, choose lactose-free milk. Lactose-free milk is still rich in calcium and vitamin D. Usually, lactose-free milk is made from almonds, soybeans, and rice.

3. Sunlight

Apart from milk, sunlight can be an alternative to obtain vitamin D, which facilitates calcium absorption and improves bone health.

"Only with exposure to sunlight for 10-15 minutes every morning, your body can produce enough vitamin D. However, it is important to still protect your skin from sunlight with sunscreen to avoid the risk of hyperpigmentation and skin cancer."

4. Green Vegetables

Green vegetables such as kangkung, green mustard greens, and white mustard greens are excellent sources of calcium for the body. One cup of cooked green mustard greens contains as much as 357 mg of calcium.

On the contrary, avoid spinach and green beets. Although they have high calcium content, both of these vegetables contain oxalates that can inhibit calcium absorption.

5. Nuts

Almond nuts, peanuts, and Brazil nuts can be the right choice for snacks to fulfill calcium intake. Roasted almond nuts in small amounts contain about 114 mg of calcium. Meanwhile, a handful of Brazil nuts contains about 72 mg of calcium and a cup of peanuts has about 85 mg of calcium.

"With that, these nuts are enough to meet your daily calcium needs, dream friend. Report: Aisyah Cryshanty/ Source: Webmd.com Dream.co.id is present on WhatsApp Channel, follow to know the latest information on this link https:\/\/bit.ly\/DreamcoidWAChannel"
