Dr. Ilan Shapiro spoke exclusively with People en Español about the benefits of milk. “As a pediatrician and especially as a dad, we want the best for our children. We live such a busy life that finding the balance between nutrition, exercise and sleeping with our children is very important, "he acknowledges. "Sometimes we as parents start neglecting that and we forget." Milk is an excellent tool, says the nutrition expert. “In the United States, 1 in 2 9-year-old children do not have the essential nutrients they need to grow. We are lacking calcium, vitamin D and potassium in our daily routine, "emphasizes Shapiro. "This is not a small problem. If we do not give adequate nutrition to our children, they will not grow as they should.”
Shapiro also gave his advice on daily milk consumption. “Before 12 months, what we recommend most as pediatricians is breast milk. From the first and second year of life we recommend whole milk, that helps the brain to develop. From 2 to 4 years old, 2.5 daily servings are recommended, each serving is 8 ounces. From that, it increases to three servings as adults. It is recommended to drink milk for breakfast, lunch and dinner, followed by a glass of water, it is part of the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics."
If the child is lactose intolerant, he can be given lactose-free milk, which maintains the necessary nutritional ingredients. "There is organic milk that is of high quality," adds the doctor. He also recommends sometimes varying and giving chocolate or vanilla flavored milk to children, or smoothies, to make it easier for them to drink. Giving children milk instead of high-calorie drinks like soda can help prevent obesity, the pediatrician emphasizes.
"As we grow, the caloric needs change and as adults we can also use skim milk as an option for our daily life," he says. "You can also add oatmeal and cinnamon to milk to give it a delicious flavor, or eat dishes like enchiladas with a dairy product like cream," Shapiro recommends. Milk is also important for adults and the elderly. "If we do not give our body enough calcium, we are at risk of osteoporosis, which makes our bones more fragile and can break," the doctor concludes.
