It turns out that
65% of adults have a reduced ability to digest lactose. This means that, in their case, consuming dairy leads to bloating, gas, and diarrhea. If you frequently experience it, you might be one of these lactose-intolerant people.
Talk to a health professional to figure out your new diet. When you
adjust your diet accordingly, you might feel better and healthier, and stop feeling bad — even after big meals.
4. Your skin might clear up.
People who are sensitive to dairy, but who still consume it are likely to get
breakouts. Turns out, dairy products contain different
hormones that stimulate the development of acne. So, if you have this problem, try to adjust your diet and go dairy-free.
5. You might miss out on essential nutrients.
Still, dairy has many health benefits. It’s
rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins D and B12. Even though these are the most
crucial during childhood and adolescence, you should still ensure you are getting these nutrients. If you don’t, you might get sick more easily. So, if you decide to go dairy-free, try to replace dairy with other products that are rich in these components like
sardines,
salmon and
plant-based milks.
