A Healthy Alternative To Milk

One of the most consumed liquids in the American diet is milk. As many people drink this product they may not realize it but milk (dairy) inflames the body. Humans are the only animal on this planet that drink another animals milk. The only reason why cow's drink their mothers milk is so that they can grow 3 times their body weight.

I understand that people drink milk for the benefits of calcium but why not go straight to the source. The reason cow milk is abundant in calcium is because its diet contains green, leafy vegetables. If you put more green vegetables into your diet than you would get the same nutrients from vegetables as you do milk.

Also it confuses me to see people ask for skim milk. The problem with skim milk is that it contains NO fat. Well in order for your body to absorb the Vitamin D it must have fat. Vitamin D along with vitamins A, K, and E are all fat soluble (need fat to be absorbed).

WHAT ALTERNATIVE IS THERE?

Almond Milk!!!

The milk of almonds not only tastes good but it also is abundant in nutrients. Almond milk comes from the milk of almonds which is a natural whole food that humans should eat. There is no dairy involved in this so it does not inflame or irritate the body. Every morning for the past year I have been putting almond milk in my cereal. I can honestly say that after a bowl of cereal with almond milk I feel great and do not get that full feeling from cows milk.

Almond milk is not expensive and there are many different flavors. I stick with the unsweetened milk, but there is vanilla flavor and sweetened.

Enjoy the benefits!
