If you are someone who does not like milk, you may need to consume dairy products every day.

"Milk is not fattening when consumed as directed. That it is made ​​fat fried foods and excessive sugar consumption," added Fiastuti.

What about soy milk and green beans? Is it possible to replace the calcium content as milk? According dr.Fiastuti, soy milk and green beans vegetable rather than animal protein. So automatic, the food can not meet the need of animal protein in the body.

However, vegetable protein is still required as well by the body. Moreover, if balanced with the animal protein consumed. Because the function of proteins in the body would be optimal, such as forming hemoglobin, replacing damaged cells, produce enzymes, blood-forming, and so on.
