Adult body is not capable of completely digesting milk
Is a human body capable of absorbing all the milk that they drink? No, that’s what modern scientists say. Lactase and Rennin are the enzymes that are used in digestion of milk. However, from the third year of our life our body is not able to produce these substances.
The agony is that human beings continue to drink milk in their adulthood. The main question that arises is that can milk cause high blood pressure? The main problem is that our digestive tracts are not capable of braking down various substances like calcium, milk sugar, proteins and caseins found in milk. So where do these substances go? What they do is either they get into our blood systems or stay back in our body as harmful substances.
Milk can raise cholesterol level in the blood
There is fat in milk and the part that is not digested can get into the blood as cholesterol. This cholesterol in the blood in turn reacts with other minerals like chlorine (mainly found in drinking water) and its byproduct are harmful sticky substances that form a lining in the arteries in form of plaque.
High blood pressure is caused by increased level of cholesterol in the blood
When these plaques are formed in the lining of the arteries that leads to clogging thereby narrowing the pathways of arteries due to which artery tissues harden. This can reduce the elasticity of the arteries which in turn will lead to rise in blood pressure. This is because now the heart will have to pump blood with higher force so that it can pass through defective arteries.
