Is it okay to drink milk on an empty stomach in the morning?

Patient's question:

I used to often drink milk on an empty stomach in the morning, and it didn't seem to cause any health problems. However, drinking milk on an empty stomach is not good. What exactly is wrong with drinking milk on an empty stomach?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Regarding your situation, I suggest it's best to drink milk half an hour after breakfast. This can help with nutrient absorption. Drinking milk on an empty stomach is also beneficial for nutrient absorption. Drinking milk on an empty stomach, especially without eating breakfast afterward, leads to the consumption of high-quality proteins in the milk for energy. Therefore, I recommend drinking a cup of warm milk half an hour after breakfast, or two hours before bed, which is also quite good. I hope my explanation can be helpful to you.
