100 grams of goat's milk provide:
Calories: 70 Kcal
Carbohydrates: 4.5 g
Proteins: 3.3 g
Fats: 4 g
Cholesterol: 11,0 mg
Glycemic index: 24
Vitamins: A, D and C, and in smaller quantities B1, B2, B3, B5, and B12.
Mineral: calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, manganese and copper.
Composition comparison of milk of different species (%). Goat, Sheep, cow and woman:
Several authors compared the milk of a cow and the human with the goat.
The mineral content in goat milk is higher than in human milk.
The goat milk contains about 134 mg of Ca and 121 mg of P per 100 g of milk: 13 % more calcium than cow
NUTRITION AND IMMUNE SYSTEM
The World Health Organization (WHO) has established as a priority in the field of public health the need to maintain adequate nutritional information and associated pathologies in their epidemiological aspects and impact social, and biological factors that modify the intake, absorption of nutrients, nutritional requirements, and immune response (DeLoughery, 2014).
Inadequate nutrition results in a deterioration variable of the immune response
The Goat milk it is a source of protein of high biological value, lactoalbúminas, biologically active peptides obtained from digestion, minerals (copper, iron, selenium, zinc, vitamins A, B6, B12, C, and D, among others...), nutrients that are directly related to the proper functioning of our immune system.
It has a high content in It (Moreno-Fernandez et al., 2016), that is essential to an immune response that is correct.
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THE CONSUMPTION OF GOAT MILK
– Recovery of the iron deficiency anemia due to its positive influence on the metabolism of iron (Nestares et al. 2008).
– Protects the stability of the genetic material.Defense antioxidant enzyme (Díaz-Castro et al. 2012).
– Improves the plasma lipid profilethus , decreasing the levels of cholesterol, due to its high content of medium-chain triglycerides, which reduce the synthesis of endogenous cholesterol and its intestinal absorption, favoring the uptake of these triglyceride levels at the intestinal level and its use as a source of energy cannot be accumulated (Díaz-Castro et al., 2013).
– Goat's milk gets a high digestibility and biological value (López-Aliaga et al., 2003, Ramos Morales et al., 2005)
– Improves the homeostasis of muscle tissue and has ergogenic effect, (Moreno-Fernádez et al., 2017)
ALTERNATIVE TO COW'S MILK WITH SCIENTIFIC RIGOR
For people who are allergic to cow's milk and lactose intolerant and have pathologies in the bowel that require digestion lighter
Less lactose: LESS INTOLERANCES
Less protein: LESS ALLERGIES
goat milk has less protein than lecheque the cow: 2,47 vs 2,63 Casein: the α-s1caseína is the most allergenic: in the goat milk is less than in the cow:
Presents more oligosaccharides: a PREBIOTIC
Contains more Zinc and Selenium: ANTIOXIDANT
