Dairy and Lactose Intolerance
For some individuals, lactose intolerance can hinder their enjoyment of dairy. It can impact their ability of getting the nutrition their body needs.
However, for those suffering from lactose intolerance, there are a number of delicious and nutritious dairy products one can enjoy, which means not having to give up the enjoyment of dairy! For example, there is lactose-free milk, which contains real dairy milk with milk’s wholesome nutrients, just without the lactose. There are also other dairy products that are naturally low in lactose, such as hard cheeses like parmesan, Swiss, and cheddar. Kefir beverages and probiotic yogurts are also typically lower in lactose than other dairy products.
