(NaturalNews) Before you dismiss drinking camel's milk as yet another exotic and unappetizing health trend, you should consider the fact that it's been used for more than 5000 years, not only as a survival food but also for its remarkable disease-fighting properties.
Recent research has shown that camel milk is effective in treating and preventing diabetes - among other diseases - and it also contains health-boosting enzymes. Another great thing about camel milk is the fact that it can be consumed by those who are
lactose-intolerant.
From
Before It's News:
"Camel milk has been deemed to hold superfood benefits, and research has shown that this milk contains more nutritional value than other forms of milk On top of the many surprising health benefits, camel milk is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and is high in vitamins and minerals. The great news is that those with lactose intolerance will likely be able to enjoy this milk without the symptoms associated with drinking homogenized cow's milk. In fact, this milk has actually be shown to reduce lactose intolerance."Camel milk fights disease
Here are some of the main benefits of drinking camel milk:
Fights diabetes - Although the exact mechanism isn't fully understood, camel milk has been proven to reduce insulin dependence in type 2 diabetes patients. It has been theorized that it contains
"insulin-like" substances that mimic the interaction of insulin within the body.
Benefits for ASD- Some believe children with autism can benefit from camel's milk.
Reduces anxiety - Camel milk contains high levels of the neurotransmitter GABA, which is important for proper brain function and is also believed to relieve anxiety symptoms.
Promotes gut health - Camel milk provides a powerful
probiotic effect. Drinking it helps the body produce healthy gut bacteria that fight disease and also help to regulate mood and alleviate the symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.
Fights cancer - Camel milk has been shown to kill
cancer cells, but the specific anti-cancer molecule has not yet been isolated. Further research may unlock the secret and lead to an effective natural treatment for cancer, but meanwhile, simply drinking camel's milk may help in treating and preventing some types of cancer.
