Anyone who decides to look for information about goat's milk, its benefits, the dangers of milk and its caloric content, has an unequivocal prejudice: goat's milk is useful.
That's right!
The beneficial properties of goat milk are confirmed by a large number of individuals grown in villages, and feeding this milk to babies-"artificiality".
For mothers of babies on artificial feeding goat's milk is a real salvation.
Goat's milk: composition, caloric content, how to apply
Depending on many circumstances, the composition of goat milk varies. The state of health, age, housing conditions, quality and composition of the feed and the lactation period of the goat - the composition of goat milk depends on all these factors. The same goat gives different milk at different times of the year..
Although the differences in the chemical composition of goat milk are present each time, certain ingredients remain in it, albeit in different quantities, without which the human body would be hard. The main thing, a significant advantage is the 98% digestibility of goat milk by the human body. A cow cannot boast with such a result.
With a caloric content of 68 kcal, 100 grams of goat milk contains unique hypoallergenic protein, as well as a record amount of vitamins A, B2 and B5 (about 10% of the daily requirement) and minerals - calcium, phosphorus and molybdenum (also 10%).
In addition, goat's milk is useful due to the presence of other vitamins B1, B6, B9, B12, C, E, D, H and PP in not-so-large quantities (nicotinic acid is three times more in goat's milk than in cow's milk) and minerals, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese and fluorine. These not for all understandable names provide our organism with a full existence. This range of nutrients in goat milk is achieved due to the variety of food goats - unlike cows, they serve both fruits and vegetables, and not all goat foods will be eaten.
Why it is important to use goat milk products
Some facts about the benefits and beneficial properties of goat milk:
• perfect absorption of calcium, a large amount of it in percentage composition;
• The minimum content of lactose in goat milk, which the body of many people is unable to digest, allows cow's milk to be successfully replaced by goat in the diet of such people;
• as an energy drink, goat milk is ideal;
• normalizes digestion - removes colic and diarrhea in newborns, does not cause indigestion in adults;
• fat from goat milk does not "impersonate" in the form of cream, in contrast to cow milk;
• suitable even for allergies;
• contains a large amount of protein (4 times more than in breast milk);
• α-1s-casein is poorly represented in goat milk, therefore the spreading mechanism changes, and affects, for example, the production of cheeses - you will never get hard cheese from goat milk.
Goat milk contains essential amino acids, even in larger quantities than meat or fish.
Goat milk: the use of components
The beneficial properties of goat milk are determined by the optimal ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as the high content of vitamins and minerals.
Goat milk, its benefits for the body, is provided by vitamins:
• A (retinol) - recognized as an antioxidant and stimulator of metabolic processes in tissues, transforms brittle hair and contains strong bones and teeth;
• group B - proved to be the guarantors of the health of the nervous system:
• B1 responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and proper functioning of the heart and nervous system,
• B2 (riboflavin) regulates the energy metabolism and the proper functioning of all organs, acts as an immunostimulant,
• B5 normalizes the digestive tract and regulates energy exchange,
• B6 stimulates metabolism and improves the activity of the nervous system;
• B9 participates in the synthesis of amino acids, is responsible for the cardiovascular system;
• B12 maintains an optimal amount of blood, prevents anemia, and forms the necessary epithelium;
• C (coenzyme) - anti-inflammatory vitamin, strengthens the walls of capillaries and blood vessels, cartilage and bone tissue, eliminates the "bad" cholesterol;
• E interferes with fat oxidation and cell destruction, stimulates the formation of red blood cells and the functioning of the sex glands;
• D responsible for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, ensures the normal development of bones and prevents the occurrence of rickets;
• H regulates acid metabolism, stimulates metabolism and assimilation of proteins, improves the condition of the skin;
• vitamin PP helps to restore tissues and organs.
Moreover, the saturation of goat milk with calcium, phosphorus, molybdenum and chlorine in combination with globulin, albumin and lecithin, when regularly released into the human body leads to:
• hormonal balance;
• proper bone formation;
• normal blood clotting;
• liquid balance;
• improve mental performance;
• full muscle tissue;

Aloe leaf to crush as much as possible (you can blender, or grated), and add honey melted in a water bath, mix thoroughly.

Take at intervals of one hour, at the rate of 50 grams of the drug per 10 kg of weight. Before use, consult a doctor.

Dairy products based on goat milk have long been popular due to its therapeutic effect on the human gastrointestinal tract. Sour milk or goat cheese - these products will help to cure, for example, dysbacteriosis.
The treatment consists in the use of dairy products from goat milk. according to the scheme:
1. 3 days you need to eat dairy products at the rate of 100 grams per 10 kg of patient weight per day; 2 days - break;
2. 5 days with fermented milk products, on day 6 - without;
3. 7 days of daily use.
By the end of the above course, the condition of the patients is significantly improved, the intestinal microflora is fully restored. For prevention, it will be good to repeat the scheme, and on an ongoing basis to include goat milk and its products in the daily diet.

Goat milk: what is the harm to health?
Doctors do not recommend drinking goat milk or limit its use when:
• pancreatitis;
• lactose allergies;
• diabetes.
The harm of goat milk can also be the case if it completely replaces the mixtures with the “artificially-born” infants. If a baby under one year old eats exclusively goat milk, it can cause iron deficiency anemia.
The rest of the concept of "harm" about goat milk can be replaced by "danger". It's about brucellosis - bacteria that causes harm to the human body, and is in raw goat milk. But it is necessary to boil it, and the danger has passed!
The moment of goat milk smell is important - smell before you buy, but better try the product. In an unclean milkmaid, the fatty acids of the goat's sebaceous glands fall into a container of milk during milking. Unfortunately, to get rid of this smell is nothing, boiling will not help either - you can only kill it with a stronger aroma while cooking dishes at home.
For pregnant and lactating mothers: the benefits of goat milk
The maximum useful composition of goat milk, similar to the breast of women, allows doctors to recommend it to pregnant women and during lactation. Goat's milk contains enough calcium, beneficial digestible fats and amino acids, which help to carry and feed the baby with minimal loss for the mother.
Goat's milk for children: is there any harm
Children after a year goat milk brings only benefits. It is especially important for children with suspected rickets, with anemia, heart disease and ophthalmic problems.
Despite the strong similarity in composition to breast milk, the goat is still not recommended to be given to infants as a substitute for artificial formulas. This is explained by the increased content of casein, a number of minerals, especially calcium, as well as a lack of iron and vitamins A and B (compared to breast milk).
Sometimes the baby's digestive tract also cannot successfully digest goat's milk due to its fat content. But such cases are rare, and milk can always be diluted with water, and on this basis to prepare the mixture.
In general, it would be stupid not to include goat milk in the daily diet of both children and adults. Try milk and products based on it, and you will notice an improvement in health!
