We all start life relying on our mother’s milk or a dairy-based formula, but as we grow, our need for it declines. Some people develop lactose intolerance as they age, but even if you can drink milk and eat cheese without discomfort, it is really not a necessary component in an adult’s diet.
Dairy products have been linked with migraines, low nutrient absorption, arthritis, allergies, asthma, and even cancer.
While it can be tough to eliminate all dairy, you can make a positive difference by switching to coconut or almond milk for your cereal, skipping out on condiments you really don’t need like sour cream, and scaling back on the amount of cheese that goes into your dishes.
