Actually, UHT milk and full cream milk cannot be distinguished simply because the two terms do not refer to the same milk group. All types of milk can be UHT milk, including full cream milk. For more details, see the following explanation.

UHT milk (ultra-high temperature) is all types of milk that is processed by heating at a high temperature, which is around 135 degrees Celsius for 1-2 seconds. This method is carried out with the aim of killing bacteria present in milk, so that milk is safe for consumption and has a longer shelf life.

Meanwhile, full cream milk is milk whose original fat content is maintained. Therefore, full cream milk still contains high levels of fat, which is about 8 grams per glass. Due to its high fat content, this milk has a savory and legit taste.

Actually, any type of milk has almost the same nutritional content, ranging from protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, to iron. However, the amount of each nutrient may vary slightly for each type of milk.

As we already know, milk is a good source of calcium. Not only for adults, calcium also has many benefits for children.

The recommended daily intake of calcium for children aged 1–6 years is 500 mg/day and children aged 7–9 years is 600 mg/day. A glass of full cream UHT milk generally contains 35% of a child's daily calcium requirement.

The following are the various benefits of calcium for children:

In children, calcium is needed to support healthy bone growth. By getting enough calcium intake every day, your little one is able to achieve optimal height and avoid the risk of developing bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, in the future.

Calcium contained in milk also plays an important role in maintaining the health of the heart muscle and blood vessel network of the little one. Thus, the baby's circulatory system is able to work optimally, so that all of his organs will also work well.

Through the strands of nerves scattered throughout the body, the brain conveys millions of messages to regulate the body's activities and metabolism. Well, here calcium plays an important role, namely maintaining healthy nerves and helping nerves convey messages from the brain to other parts of the Little One's body.

In order to feel the maximum benefits from milk, you and your family are advised to consume 2 glasses of milk every day, namely in the morning and evening. However, if you or your family have certain conditions related to milk consumption, such as lactose intolerance, consult your doctor so that the doctor can recommend which milk is the safest for you to consume.
