As kids we were made to have milk every day and were told that it's good for health. But that’s not true. While for some people it works wonders, it's not for everyone. According to new research, not taking milk can save you from a lot of health issues.

1. You will lose weight



You will find lactose in all dairy products which is a form of sugar. The sugar content in dairy although minimal is enough to elevate your insulin levels. If you are trying to lose weight, you would certainly want to normalise your insulin which also play a big role in losing weight.

2. Your digestion gets better



Lactose is not easy to digest for everyone. Lactose intolerance can cause diarrhea to develop and even worsen. During digestive problems, it may still be okay to eat yogurt and hard cheeses because they have no lactose, or you can try lactose-free milk.
