When we choose to taste camel milk, we might as well first explore the unique biological characteristics of the mysterious camels together. This will not only add to our awe of the wonderful creations of nature, but also enable us to deeply appreciate the preciousness of camel milk. Camels, the warriors in the desert, possess astonishing survival skills. Their humps, the miraculous reservoirs bestowed by nature, can provide them with energy and water in an environment where resources are scarce, endowing them with extraordinary endurance and adaptability. Camels have played an extremely important role in history: Trade and Transportation: In ancient times, camels were the main means of transportation on the "Silk Road". They carried heavy goods, traversed the vast deserts and treacherous mountains, and connected the trade routes between Asia, Europe and Africa, thus promoting the exchange of goods and cultural exchanges between different regions. Military Use: In the wars of some regions, camels were used as a means to transport strategic materials and soldiers. Their endurance and the ability to adapt to harsh environments enabled the armies to conduct long marches and battles in difficult areas such as deserts. Agriculture and Nomadic Life: For some agricultural and nomadic peoples in desert and arid regions, camels can not only help transport agricultural products and daily necessities, but also provide important living resources such as milk, meat, hides and wool. Postal Delivery: In certain regions and during specific periods, camels undertook the task of delivering mails and messages, thus becoming the early "postmen". Cultural and Religious Symbols: In some cultures and religions, camels hold significant symbolic meanings. They often appear in religious stories, legends, and works of art, representing qualities such as tenacity, endurance, and loyalty. In conclusion, camels have had a profound and extensive impact on the economic, military, living, and cultural development of mankind throughout history. Camels possess numerous unique biological characteristics: Resistance to Cold and Heat: In semi-desert and desert areas, the climate changes drastically throughout the year. When the temperature is 37 - 42 °C at noon in summer, the sand surface temperature can reach 65 - 75 °C. Other livestock cannot survive under such conditions, but camels can use their elbow ends, the bottom of the chest and the back knees to support their body weight to adapt to the high ground temperature. Their coats are shed in early summer and it takes a period of being hairless before new hair can grow, which enables them to get through the hot summer and is beneficial for heat dissipation on the body surface. Thick and dense down grows after autumn to defend against the severe winter. Endurance of Hunger and Thirst: Camels are one of the animals that are best adapted to extreme climates. Even in the harsh desert conditions, they can still move forward while carrying loads. The average lifespan of camels is 30 to 50 years. They can survive for 79 days without eating or drinking, and can survive for 108 days by only drinking water without eating. A large amount of fat is stored in their humps. When there is a lack of food, the fat can be oxidized and decomposed to provide energy for the body. Meanwhile, the kidneys of camels have a powerful function of concentrating urine, which can minimize the loss of water to the greatest extent. Moreover, they can drink a large amount of water at one time for reserve. Researchers compared the 17 lipid metabolism pathways in the KEGG of Bactrian camels with those of other species and found that the lipid metabolism of Bactrian camels is similar to that of birds. This indicates that camels, like birds, have extremely strong endurance when running or flying. Furthermore, special regulatory genes and enzymes have been found in the lipid metabolism of camels, endowing them with a unique energy storage method and the ability to endure hunger that other animals do not possess. Strong feeding ability: Camels have relatively long necks, which are bent in a "Z" shape and are generally about 100 cm long. With great flexibility, they can not only lower their heads to feed on short plants and shrub branches close to the ground, but also raise their heads to feed on tree branches that are more than 2 m high. The mouths and digestive systems of camels have adapted to the relatively barren food resources in the desert. They are able to feed on plants that are thorny, highly lignified, and have a high salt content, obtaining nutrients from the vegetation that is difficult for other animals to utilize. Suitable for walking in the desert: Their broad hooves prevent them from sinking deeply when walking on the soft sandy ground, enabling them to traverse the vast desert with ease. Camels have the function of independently opening and closing their eyes. Their upper eyelashes are long and dense, hanging down, and they can be in a semi-closed state when encountering sandstorms. Their lacrimal glands and nictitating membranes are well-developed. By using the backward movement of tears and the nictitating membrane, they can remove the sand on the surface of their eyeballs. The nostrils of camels are long and narrow, slanting and fissure-like, and can be opened and closed at will. There are many 1-cm-long nasal hairs around the nostrils, and the upper respiratory tract forms curved folds. All these structures can play the roles of filtering sand and dust and moistening the air. Therefore, even in the case of a force-5 gale, camels can still move around and feed. Sensitive sense of smell: Camels have a rather sensitive sense of smell. If the wind is favorable, they can detect odors several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away and identify water sources in faraway places. Since the vegetation in the desert is relatively monotonous, with only 73 species of plants in the Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in China, camels don't have many odors to distinguish. As a result, they have fewer olfactory receptors. However, precisely because of this, their ability to distinguish each individual odor is enhanced, so camels have a very high sensitivity of the sense of smell. Tolerance to high blood glucose: The blood glucose level of camels is more than twice that of other ruminants. Camels have more genes that have undergone accelerated evolution, and they work together to form the unique blood glucose regulation system of camels. These characteristics of camels enable them to live a normal life even during the months of snowfall or when the food supply is scarce. Strong detoxification ability: Camels can feed on a plant called Stellera chamaejasme, while other animals will get poisoned if they eat this kind of food. Camels have a craving for salt and consume about eight times as much salt as cattle and sheep. High salt intake can cause diseases such as hypertension, and plants like Stellera chamaejasme can poison organisms. However, this special mechanism of camels enables them to maintain normal physiological activities. Relevant studies have found that the special detoxification ability and high salt tolerance of camels are related to the cytochrome P450 protein in their bodies. These biological characteristics have made camels outstanding survivors in the desert environment, demonstrating their strong adaptability and tenacious vitality. The camel milk produced by camels is known as the "white gold" in the desert and has a higher nutritional value than ordinary animal dairy products. Camel milk, also known as camel's milk, the "desert white gold", and the "treasure among milks", generally specifically refers to the milk secreted by Bactrian camels. Moreover, it is a rare tonic with a long history and its nutritional value is far higher than that of ordinary animal dairy products. For office workers nowadays, most of them sit in front of computers for long periods every day without much movement and lack exercise. Meanwhile, they are facing increasing pressure from work and family. Many people can hardly ensure that they have enough sleep time at night. Symptoms like getting up at night, insomnia, and palpitations can all affect people's sleep quality. Gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and flatulence have also become common troubles for modern people. Taking medicine frequently doesn't solve the problem as the symptoms keep recurring. Unhealthy eating habits, smoking, drinking, and irregular work and rest schedules are among the factors that have led to the prevalence of sub-health conditions among young people nowadays. The same goes for many middle-aged and elderly people. We often say that "being able to eat is a blessing". However, many elderly people are full after just a few bites most of the time. They don't feel hungry, have no appetite, and can't eat much... There are also some people whose appetite increases when the seasons change. They are prone to overeating, which adds to the burden on their stomachs and intestines and leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction. So, what changes will happen to the bodies of those who drink camel milk for a long time? In the initial stage of drinking camel milk, the changes in the body are quite obvious, and what can be directly felt are the improvements in the intestines and sleep. Camel milk is rich in protein, which can form a kind of isolation zone for gastric acid and gastric mucosa, thus having a relatively good effect on protecting the gastric mucosa. Camel milk contains various amino acids required by the human body. Drinking a glass of camel milk every night can help you sleep more soundly and wake up full of energy the next day.
