1. Who Should Avoid Drinking Ensure Milk?
Ensure is an extremely renowned milk brand from Abbott, USA, widely used in Vietnam. It's highly praised for its nutritional content, providing essential nutrients for the body. However, not everyone is the appropriate candidate for this type of milk. Specifically, the following individuals should avoid drinking Ensure milk.
1.1 Individuals allergic to cow's milk protein
Firstly, those allergic to cow's milk protein should avoid Ensure milk since it still contains a significant amount of this protein. Therefore, if you or your loved ones have a history of cow's milk protein allergy, it's not advisable to choose Ensure milk for consumption. Instead, you can switch to using nut milk or goat's milk to supplement nutrients for the body.
1.2 Individuals with digestive system disorders
People with digestive system disorders such as gastric pain, acid reflux, colitis, should also avoid consuming Ensure milk. Because Ensure milk contains many nutrients, so if the digestive system is damaged, it will worsen the condition.
Nutrition experts also advise that even normal individuals should not drink Ensure milk on an empty stomach in the early morning, as it is very harmful to the stomach. The best time to drink is one hour after meals and 30 minutes before bedtime.
1.3 Individuals with diabetes
Most common types of Ensure milk nowadays contain a large amount of sugar, so the milk tastes quite sweet. Therefore, individuals with diabetes need to consider carefully before using.
When it's necessary to use, be sure to choose the right type of Ensure milk for diabetics with the label Ensure Diabetes Care on the packaging to avoid confusion. Because the diabetes Ensure milk will use dietary sugar instead of regular sugar, it will be easier to control blood sugar levels when consumed.
1.4 Individuals with obesity
Individuals with obesity are also among the groups that nutrition experts advise against using Ensure milk. If you look at the composition table of the milk, you will see a large amount of protein, fat, and sugar. Prolonged use will cause weight gain. For obese individuals, weight gain will cause many problems, leading to various cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol, etc.
1.5 Children under 10 years old
Finally, children under 10 years old should not drink Ensure milk. Although there is no age recommendation on the box, nutrition experts recommend that children under 10 years old should not use it, except for German Ensure milk. If using Ensure milk for children under 10 years old, parents must find the right type of Abbott Pediasure milk to use. This is also a line of milk from Abbott USA but specially formulated for children from 1 to 10 years old.
