Don't drink milk on an empty stomach.
Some people like to drink milk on an empty stomach in the morning, thinking that it will supplement nutrition for the body, but it's wrong to do this for the body. In the morning, when you drink milk, the protein in the milk is forced to be converted into heat, which is no nourishing effect.

If the tea and the milk are to be drunk together, the tannin in the tea leaves will hinder the absorption of calcium in milk. So people must pay attention to not drinking them together.
