Patient's question:
Over the past year, I have been experiencing constant dizziness and nausea, feeling weak all over. Sometimes, even slight physical activity makes me feel dizzy and lightheaded. I have tried many methods to alleviate these symptoms, but nothing has worked. When I went to the hospital, they diagnosed me with high blood lipids (high cholesterol, normal triglycerides). Since then, I have avoided drinking milk and switched to drinking goat milk. I am wondering if this is harmful to my health?Doctor's answer:
High cholesterol can consume goat milk. The fat globules in goat milk are one-third the size of those in cow's milk. Due to its rich protein content, goat milk has very low fat, which is more beneficial for the human body to metabolize. Therefore, it is also suitable for patients with hypercholesterolemia. The vitamins and trace elements in goat milk are significantly lower than those in cow's milk, and developed countries regard goat milk as a nutritional delicacy. Experts recommend that people with allergies, gastrointestinal diseases, bronchial inflammation, or physical weakness, as well as infants, should consume goat milk more appropriately. It is necessary to reform lifestyle, pay attention to a low-fat diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and appropriately enhance physical exercise. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking, drinking, and reducing salt intake.
