Russian allergist and immunologist of the highest category Evgenia Parshina notes that full-fat milk has a beneficial effect on intestinal microflora. However, if you have a high cardiovascular risk or are following a therapeutic diet, it is advisable to choose lower-fat options.

According to the expert, the higher the fat content in milk, the more benefits it brings to the intestinal microflora. Therefore, preference should be given to milk with medium (2.6-3.5%) and high (more than 3.5%) fat content. Higher fat milk also promotes better absorption of nutrients such as fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K2, Omega-3 and Omega-6, as well as B vitamins, saturated fatty acids, protein, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and others. which has a beneficial effect on health, especially bones, immunity, nervous system and vision.

It is important to consider that higher-fat milk contains more bad cholesterol, which can negatively affect the condition of the cardiovascular system. In such cases, it is recommended to replace it with milk with a minimum percentage of fat content. This option is also suitable for those who are following a diet that limits the consumption of fatty foods. If in any doubt, it is recommended that you consult with a qualified health professional regarding the inclusion of milk in your diet.
