Although the health benefits of milk for our bodies are no longer in doubt, not everyone can consume milk well. This is caused by two possibilities: the properties contained in milk that people dislike or the biological traits of the person concerned (intolerance). The first cause can be overcome by adding orange, passion fruit, apple extracts, or other fruit flavors so that the nauseating original taste of milk can be eliminated. Meanwhile, the second cause can be overcome by replacing it with milk that has undergone a special treatment, namely fermentation.
Biologically, milk intolerant people are unable to digest lactose from food or milk drinks, resulting in an accumulation of lactose in the intestines. Such sufferers can drink powdered milk with low lactose content or fermented milk, such as yoghurt, kefir, and koumis.
Fermented milk is also beneficial for the elderly who experience difficulties in digesting high-protein foods. Fermented milk, such as yoghurt, which can be digested within one hour, can overcome these difficulties. Another advantage of fermented milk is that it can lower blood cholesterol levels and prevent diarrhea for people with lactose deficiency.
