The Healing Benefits of Non-Dairy Milk!
If regular milk doesn’t agree with you anymore and you need a suitable
replacement, then you must try the “New kid on the block”
what is it?
Oat milk.
It’s the latest rage in nondairy milks and it’s made from oats.
Oat milk is rich, creamy and easily frothable which is perfect for
coffee drinkers.
But wait, there’s more, oat milk can also benefit you in 3 other ways like…
a) Lower Stress Levels-
One cup of the frothy delight delivers about 50% of the recommended daily
allowance of vitamin B12 and researchers say that high levels of this vitamin
support healthy nerve and brain function and decreases the risk of blue moods
and stress by up to 300%.
b) Shuts Down Anxiety-
The number of people taking anxiety medication is astronomical and
if you’re looking for something that’s not prescribed by a doctor, look
no further than the dairy section of your supermarket for oat milk.
Oat milk contains compounds (beta glucans) that can kick start the production
of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter that shuts down a hyper-active brain.
Drinking one cup a day can help cut your risk of overactive brain drain–and
restless sleep–by 50% in less than 2 weeks.
c) More Happiness-
Want to increase the amount of happiness hormones in your system?
Drink more oat milk. Oat milk contains manganese, a compound which
optimizes the thyroid gland’s output of mood-boosting hormones.
And now that you’re aware of the benefits of consuming oat milk,
here are 3 beverages that use the aforementioned nondairy milk.
