Can milk also be the cause of heart attack? Know the doctor's opinion on this, IGF factor and all the important things related to heart health in our report.

If people change some of their habits in time, they will not suffer from major diseases. Heart and related problems are on the rise these days. To avoid heart attack, we need to change our lifestyle. Unhealthy eating can cause heart diseases. Milk is also one such item that can cause heart attack. Yes, you might be surprised to hear this but according to doctors, it is okay to drink milk only till a certain age. If it is consumed more than that, health can deteriorate.

The connection between milk and heart health

The relation of milk with heart is such that the amount of milk increases the cholesterol level. Drinking milk increases weight. Fat also increases with full fat milk. All these are the cause of heart attack, so milk should be consumed only in teenage or till the age of 18-19 years. Milk is a source of saturated fat, which increases cardio problems. However, according to the Heart Foundation, milk has been considered a nutritious diet to keep the heart of New Zealand people healthy. But this milk is plant-based and low fat milk. Low fat milk also reduces blood pressure and also reduces LDL level.

What does the doctor say?

Dr Rohit Sane, a cardio specialist from Maharashtra, says that if our bones are strong and there is no pain or discomfort in them, then there is no need to drink milk. If our height is normal and growth has stopped, then also it is not necessary to drink milk. At the same time, if there is sufficient calcium in the body, then also it is not necessary to consume milk. This means that if everything is fine inside our body and we are continuously drinking milk even after 18-19 years, then we have to understand that milk is no longer good for our body.

According to Dr Rohit, if milk is consumed in excess, obesity will increase, there will also be problems of cholesterol and BP. Therefore, control the intake of milk and if it is not necessary, consume other products. People who want to gain weight should drink milk, those who want to lose weight should avoid it.

Why does this happen?

According to the doctor, if milk is consumed at a young age or at an older age, it will harm you instead of benefiting you. In the growing age, milk helps us in increasing our height, weight and strengthening our muscles and bones. But when the body gets all this and still we drink milk, it only increases the size of the body. Drinking milk increases the IGF factor.
