What Happens to Your Body If You Stop Eating Dairy

The main health benefits of eating dairy include building bones and teeth and maintaining body mass. However, it’s way more crucial for kids when they just start growing up. Adults don’t necessarily need dairy to sustain a healthy life, especially if they replace it with other foods that contain essential nutrients.

Bright Side has done some research on dairy consumption and figured out what might happen if you cut dairy out of your diet. Actually, you might find the answers to some of your problems in this list.

1. You might stop having headaches.

Cultured dairy products can actually be migraine triggers. So, if you’re not stressed, sleep well, and have limited your coffee consumption, but still experience headaches, dairy might be the answer. Try to stop consuming it, and your migraines may possibly stop.

2. You might become more stable emotionally.

There are many hormones in dairy that might conflict with your own. When these hormones get mixed up, it leads to mood swings. So, if you stop eating dairy, you won’t be exposed to these additional hormones and could probably become more emotionally stable.

3. You might stop feeling bloated.

It turns out that 65% of adults have a reduced ability to digest lactose. This means that, in their case, consuming dairy leads to bloating, gas, and diarrhea. If you frequently experience it, you might be one of these lactose-intolerant people. Talk to a health professional to figure out your new diet. When you adjust your diet accordingly, you might feel better and healthier, and stop feeling bad — even after big meals.

4. Your skin might clear up.

People who are sensitive to dairy, but who still consume it are likely to get breakouts. Turns out, dairy products contain different hormones that stimulate the development of acne. So, if you have this problem, try to adjust your diet and go dairy-free.

5. You might miss out on essential nutrients.

Still, dairy has many health benefits. It’s rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins D and B12. Even though these are the most crucial during childhood and adolescence, you should still ensure you are getting these nutrients. If you don’t, you might get sick more easily. So, if you decide to go dairy-free, try to replace dairy with other products that are rich in these components like sardines, salmon and plant-based milks.

I think I just found out why I'm miserable. I love cereal and milk, cottage cheese etc. I have been on a kick. I've been so bloated I literally bloat up from a sz4 to sz 11. I'm going to try this out.

I figured out some years ago that I was lactose intolerant so I never really get diary anymore

Unfortunately
your article is true. When I reduce dairy products my face gets clearer, even if I cut only milk and yoghurt. I found the oat milk as a very good alternative for me.
