The White Stuff

Milk can easily be overlooked as just something we flavour our teas and coffee with, but it is much more than that, just take a look at the health rewards of drinking a healthy amount of milk.

Milk is high in nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, Vitamin B, potassium, and vitamin D. It also is a high-protein food. Drinking milk and dairy products can keep you from getting osteoporosis and bone fractures, as well as maintain a healthy weight.

A normal glass of milk is able to provide you with:

• Calcium content around 29%.
• Vitamin D content around 25%
• Phosphorus content around 23%.
• Riboflavin content around 23%.
• Vitamin B-12 content around 15%
• Protein content around 17%

Milk products, especially yogurt and milk, are high in potassium. Vitamin D works in the body to keep calcium and phosphorus levels balanced, assisting in the formation and maintenance of bones. Milk enriched with vitamin D is an excellent provider of this nutrient.
