Lactose Intolerance:

Did you know that lactose intolerance affects around 75 percent of the world’s population and that a lot of people may not even be aware of having this condition?

So, what is lactose intolerance? Our bodies need the enzyme lactase to digest lactose, which is a natural sugar that is found in milk. Lactose is split into two distinct sugars, glucose and galactose, during digestion by the enzyme. The phenomenon of lactose intolerance is caused by malabsorption of this sugar by the body and a reduction in the activity of this enzyme. The bacteria in our gut flora digest the lactose rather than separating it.

Lactose cannot be fully absorbed by those who have lactose intolerance. This is because when you drink milk as an infant, you have the highest level of lactase in your body. But as you age, the body frequently produces less and less lactase, making it challenging for you to eat dairy and dairy products. People may have varying degrees of lactose intolerance. In extreme cases, they may have diarrhoea, flatulence, bloating, nausea, stomach aches, or severe indigestion.

What is Skimmed Milk?

A low-calorie, low-fat alternative made by skimming the fat from whole milk is called skimmed milk. While it has fewer calories than whole milk, skimmed milk offers the same amount of nutrients and minerals. Additionally, it contains less saturated fat, making it healthy for the heart and safer for diabetics and people with high cholesterol.

Skimmed milk is also lighter, so you can enjoy a glass full of milk without worrying about the feeling of heaviness afterward.

Lactose Free Skimmed Milk Benefits:-

If you have missed out on the taste and satisfaction of consuming dairy and dairy products, you can now enjoy our lactose-free skimmed milk. Here are a few benefits that you should be aware of, from its smoothness to its taste and health benefits!

1. It’s easy to digest:- Because lactose-free milk contains added lactase, it’s easier to digest for those with lactose intolerance, making it a good alternative to regular milk.

2. It has the same nutritional value as ordinary milk:- Lactose-free skimmed milk is nothing but regular milk, minus the lactose and fat. This means that the nutrient profile of lactose-free milk remains intact, and you can still enjoy all the health benefits of regular milk.

3. Compared to regular milk:- Lactose-free skimmed milk tastes better and smoother—galactose and glucose, the two simple sugars produced when lactase breaks down lactose, leave a bolder sweetness on the tongue.

4. Lactose Free Milk is inherently gluten-free:- Lactose-free milk should be on your shopping list if you have celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or a wheat allergy.

5. Low fat- Is skimmed milk fat-free? This would be the most frequently asked question. Given that it has a fat content of less than 0.5 percent, it is practically fat-free. Dairy fat is almost impossible to eliminate entirely, so skimmed milk still contains some trace amounts of it but is a much healthier option than whole fat milk.

Lactose free skimmed milk can be used in baking and cooking exactly like regular milk, whether it’s for sweet or savoury dishes. Our Lactose-Free Skimmed Milk is a great substitute for the regular milk in your kitchen. This is because it’s skimmed, so obviously low in fat, and also since it’s lactose free. Also, just to let you know, we are one of the first brands in India to offer lactose free AND skimmed milk, both in 1.

Use it with your morning coffee or evening tea and use it in your recipes. It blends in perfectly. However, if you really want to enjoy it, go ahead and pour yourself a glass of milk and raise a toast to being able to enjoy milk again.

To sum it up, milk and other dairy products include significant amounts of calcium, a nutrient that is crucial for the growth and preservation of bones and teeth throughout life. In addition, calcium is required for healthy muscles, neurons, and blood clotting as well as for the heart to beat regularly.

While there are other sources of calcium apart from milk, those who are lactose intolerant may struggle to meet their daily calcium intake requirement. RAW Pressery Lactose Free Milk is the best alternative for you and your bone strength and will enable you to put your worries about your nutrient intake to rest.

**PLEASE NOTE: Lactose Free milk is not the same as dairy-free milk because it is still produced using cow’s milk. If you have any dairy or food allergies or any digestive issues, we’d suggest you consult your doctor before consuming.
