The Beauty Milk

When I was young, my biggest problem in life was the warm cup of milk, that my parents forced me to drink every morning. I know I am not alone in this, but I really hated the taste of milk, I it's really bad to say this about food, especially milk, but that what I really felt. My poor parents tried very hard to make me love it, they got me every kind of milk they could put their hands on, from powder to condensed to evaporated, to canned, but nothing worked for me. As I grew up, I eventually learned about the benefits of milk, so I tried to force my self to drink a cup at least every week. "which is insufficient". One day I was skiing at the Dubai Ski in mall of the Emirates, I fall down and broke my hand. My poor delicate hand :) was put on a cast for a long period of almost three months, which is not normal for such a superficial bone breakage. The doctors related that to my sever shortage of calcium, so during all that time followed by nine months of pregnancy I was forced to drink two cups of milk daily. I hated my life till one day I discovered Almond milk. and no it's not normal milk flavoured with almonds, it is really milk extracted from almonds.

Almond milk has more calcium concentration, proteins, nutrients and all the beneficial ingredients than the normal cow milk, and better it tastes so good and is sugary enough, so no need to add any extra sugar which makes it perfect for diabetics and those who are on diet. Beside all this it has amazing beautifying benefits, it has anti-oxidants, vitamin B, iron "not present in normal milk" and full of vitamin E, which is super good for your hair, nails and of course your skin savior. Nuitrionists around the world like to call Almond milk the Elixir of beauty and health. It also contains Vit. A so good for eye sight, and the best thing is it's easily digested by the body, and is great for all lactose-intolerant people. I also recommend it for lactating mothers, as Cow milk can cause sever gases to newborn because lactose is transmitted via breast milk to babies.

If you are in GCC you can find it in almost any big or fancy supermarket, in Egypt try to search for at the diet section at big supermarkets, and also Gourmet shop stock them from time to time. If you can't find it in the market no worries because you can do it yourself at home. Check this video out.
