is milk good for cramps?

Question

i heard that if u have cramps u should drink milk does it work?

Answer 1

Cow's milk can cause severe gas and bloating, diarrhea, and make the cramps much worse. You will feel much better if you avoid milk and any other dairy products including cheese, ice cream, yogourt, etc.

Humans are the only animal that drinks milk past infancy, and then it's not even from the correct species! Too many people are still trying to defend milk's supposed health benefits. Unfortunately, they are either using old information or information obtained from research funded by the dairy association. How many people would enjoy a glass of dog's milk or rat's milk? What makes cows special?

There are only two reasons which I've found to support humans drinking cow's milk. We have grown up hearing that it's good for us and we've grown accustomed to the taste and texture. There is absolutely no nutrition that can not be obtained elsewhere, minus the negatives. Calcium seems to be the major claim for milk. It can be found elsewhere in green vegetables, almonds, and many other sources. Where do you think the cows obtain the calcium to put into the milk? Where do other larger animals (elephants, horses, deer, whales, etc) get calcium? Why we continue to drink cow's milk laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, and who knows what else is beyond me.

Since I've given up drinking milk about 5 years ago my health has greatly improved. I suffer fewer allergy problems, asthma and breathing problems are greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better, and I have more energy.

In the '50s smoking was considered harmless but now we realize its dangers. One person at a time and eventually the truth will become widely known that cow's milk is only for baby cows. Milk is indeed the perfect food, but only for infants of the proper species.

Do some research online and decide for yourself.

Answer 2

Milk is a very good source of calcium no matter how old one is. I'm 35 and I still drink a lot of milk but I never noticed that it helped my cramps.

I found that keeping my iron levels up during my period helped ease the amount of cramping because I discovered that the flow wouldn't be as heavy. One of the ways that I do that is from eating peanut butter and I will recommend it to others to try if they are not allergic to peanuts.

Answer 3

Is good if you are under 15 years old. After this your organism won't assimilate the calcium from milk because your organism will have stopped producing the enzime in charge of this.
Try some bananas, they have calcium and your body will assimilate this one.
Do drink enough water as well and have some vitamin B (there are pills that provide the whole B group of vitamins).
Don't bother on having lots milk, you'll hardly get some calcium out of it after your 15's.

Answer 6

Any fluid helps a lot for cramps. Cramp are usually because of muscle fatigue or dehydration. Try exercising all parts of your body. It also sometimes is due to disuse atrophy. Consult a doctor if it persists. You can also look for information in the web. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html
