Don't let lactose intolerance stop you from getting the nutrients you want!

Does your stomach bloat or do you feel discomfort after having a glass of milk in the morning? Then, you are probably lactose intolerant. But don't worry, in Mexico this is more common than you might think. About half of Mexicans have some level of lactose intolerance. What should I do if I am lactose intolerant? If after several tests you realize that consuming certain foods causes you discomfort, it is necessary to make some adjustments to your diet. Many people, when they discover their symptoms, make the mistake of eliminating dairy without looking for alternatives or substitutes, which causes an imbalance in their diet. Remember that dairy products provide nutrients to our bodies, and stopping them can lead to health problems. What foods provide me with the same nutrients as dairy? Nowadays, there are many alternatives that offer the same nutrients as dairy products, such as soy. This allows our bodies to receive the protein and calcium it needs to function properly, without consuming lactose-containing foods. Among the most popular plant-based drinks are those made from soy, coconut, or almond. The natural components of these seeds, free of cholesterol and lactose, make soy, coconut, or almond drinks enriched with calcium and B vitamins, among others, suitable for people looking to replace milk without sacrificing benefits. The best part about these drinks is that sometimes, options without added sugars can be found, making them a nutritious and healthy choice.
