Myth: Poor milk digestion in adults

Truth: Some people have difficulty digesting milk sugar, but this is not a terrible disease. This unpleasant affliction causes stomach upset. In this case, you should switch to fermented milk products - ryazhenka or kefir. Or drink milk with low lactose content.

This will not be difficult for you if you have milk porridge for breakfast, soup or vegetables seasoned with sour cream for lunch, and kefir or ryazhenka after dinner. Following these recommendations, your body will be able to receive all the most valuable.
