\"\"Let\u2019s talk about a popular food that is being discussed a lot and maybe you didn\u2019t know how it affects negatively your mood. It’s not sugar, it’s not coffee, not even gluten. It’s a food that has been sold to you as natural, complete, good for health.<\/p>\n

And it’s certainly in your fridge. Do you think it helps to stay in shape? It does exactly the opposite.<\/p>\n

It’s the industrial pasteurized cow’s milk.<\/p>\n

Modern milk, that of overfed cows and treated with hormones, contains casomorphins, peptides, which act like weak opioids on your brain.<\/p>\n

As a result, you feel a little calm, a pseudo-comfort effect. But behind, your dopamine drops. You become more irritable, more tired, less concentrated.<\/p>\n

Add to that the mal-digested residual lactose in 70% of adults. This fermenting sugar in your intestine feeds the bad bacteria, triggers a discreet inflammation that disturbs the production of serotonin.<\/p>\n

And remember, 90% of serotonin, the hormone of good mood, is made in your intestine.<\/p>\n

Industrial milk gives you a micro-shot of comfort before taking over your morale. A vicious circle that millions of people live without ever making the link.<\/p>\n

Do you want milk? Take the whole thing and in small quantities. Kefir local milk.<\/p>\n

But this sterilized white liquid, UHT, sold as healthy, it’s marketing, not nutrition.<\/p>\n

You thought it was your stress that made you irritable? No, it’s maybe your morning bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
