The Benefits of Drinking Milk
A glass of milk is not just yummy, but mainly it’s healthy. Talking about varieties, below are just some kinds of milk that we can buy from supermarket: full-cream, skim, low-fat, and extra calcium. No matter what kind of milk that we drink, in general, we’ll get the benefits from it because milk consists of 87% liquid and 13% solid which covers high quality protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein will make our immune system increase, so we won’t easily catch diseases. The quality of protein that we get from drinking milk is the same as the protein in meat and eggs.
The vitamins, covering vitamin A, D, B6, and riboflavin, will keep our eyes and skin healthy.
The mineral consisting of calcium, phosphorous and magnesium is very important for our teeth and bones. Those minerals are also important to maintain the normal blood pressure and to prevent us from suffering some pain every time we have our menstrual period.
One more thing, the milk nutritients will prevent us from osteoporocy as 70% our need for calcium is fulfilled just by drinking milk.
As additional information, a research in Puerto Rico found out that drinking milk regularly lower the risk to suffer stroke and heart attack.
So, it’s obvious that drinking milk is one way to keep us healthy, but only if we do it regularly, such as drinking three glasses of milk every day.
