MILK
The bad reputation that milk has developed in the last years is plainly absurd. It is a fact that many commercial milk producers have been feeding cows with antibiotics, hormones, and other products that alter the value of the milk. The added hormones are used to fatten the cows. Therefore, when humans ingest them, we also get fat. The added antibiotics alter our defense system, making us weaker to fight bacteria. Using this legally altered milk, we are creating fatter children with lower immune systems. But that does not mean that milk is bad. Organic milk does not have added antibiotics or hormones. Organic milk is very good for children and adults.
Besides calcium, proteins, added vitamines, and moderate amounts of fat, milk has essential immunoacids that help build our defenses to viruses and bacteria. Milk is a very complete nutritional product that helps in the development of muscles, skin, and bone. Eliminating milk from our diet is a bad idea.
Soy and rice milk do not replace milk.
Looking white does not provide soy or rice the nutrition found in milk.
If a person is lactose intolerant, the person should increase the amount of eggs or other easily absorbed protein into their diet. Most people are not lactose intolerant. Even if they do not digest milk well, it may be for other reasons, not due to lactose. Lactose is nothing but the sugar found in milk.
If you truly can't digest milk, then you have to balance the proteins found in vegetarian products to complete your protein production. For instance, soy needs to be ballanced with garbanzos (chick peas) or other beans. Metabolization of protein is very important

The aging effect: As we get older, balancing our diet is even more difficult. For instance, conversion from glucose to glucosamine requires cooper and vitamin B. But our older liver gets less and bigger cells as we age. These cells are less accurate in the processing of amino acids and minerals. So, the result is that we extract less cooper and vitamin B from food. Consequently, we turn less glucose into glucosamine, producing less collagen. A byproduct of this is that we produce less adrenaline (turning more sedentary) and we turn larger amounts of testosterone into bad testosterone (making our bodies hairier). If you follow this thinking, you will have to agree that the problem is not how much sugar we eat. The problem is that people eat too much fat, do not exercise enough, do not have enough meals with the correct amounts of vitamin B. Vitamin B is not stored. So, it must be ingested every day. In addition, cooper is low in our diets. So, even high protein diets become high fat diets because there are ingredients missing in the collagen production equation. Even those high protein diets aren't good because although they turn the body into a burner, the burner is not producing protein, so, high cholesterol levels can result. High protein diets require high vitamin B content and lots of exercise to complete the collagen production process.

DMG A good way to compensate for these aging deficiencies is to increase the consumption of an amino-acid catalyst, such as DMG. DMG increases the speed in which we produce collagen. This allows us to use the nutrients that form part of the collagen production chain, while reducing the production of byproducts, such as lactic acid. This catalyst is essential for our body to produce muscle after exercise, and increasing it does seem to help in many ways. In my case, after taking 500 mg three times per day, the muscle pains produced by exercise were considerably reduced. DMG is also essential in the production of monocytes. This means that when your body is creating antibodies, it must use its supply of DMG for that, reducing its ability to repair itself. Hence, when you are fighting an infection, your chances of having body aches and joint inflammation increase.

Perna Another potent immunomodulator is Perna. Perna is an extract from the New Zealand green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus. As a potent immunomodulator, Perna is great to reduce inflammatory responses. The combination of Glucosamine, Perna, DMG, vitamin B6, and copper is great to reduce bone and muscle pain and inflammation. A good combination to help you stay young: We need exercise to stay in shape. But after a certain age, the results from exercise become less efficient and more painful. Glucosamine, Perna, DMG, vitamin B6, and copper combined can reverse this effect. This is not a medical fact, nor is it proven as of today. But it is worth trying. I take Glucosamine, Perna, DMG, Ginkgo, and a multivitamin complex that includes both, cooper and vitamin B6. This combination has given me great results. In summary, exercise, protein, vitamin B, sugar, and minerals combine to make a good diet.
