A glass of ‘milk’ a day, keeps diseases away. Not just apples.
As adults, we’re all well-acquainted with this idea that Milk is good for us. But beyond this vague notion, there are uncertainties revolving around the specifics of exactly why that is.
These three things are just a few out of many reasons why milk is needed in our daily diet.
Energy Booster
Milk is great for many things, but did you know it’s also great for boosting your energy? When you’re struggling to get through the day and you need a little boost, reach for a cold glass of milk. It will help you feel revitalized in no time.
Soothes Heartburn
There are many foods that contain acids that cause people to experience heartburn. One of the simplest – and yummiest – ways to alleviate this pain is by drinking a glass of milk. The cooling sensation and the thick consistency of milk help to coat the oesophagus and stomach lining to prevent heartburn.
Stress Reducer
Thanks to the many vitamins and minerals that are in milk, it can also work as a stress reliever. After a long, hard day at the office, sit down and drink a warm glass of milk. This helps to relieve muscle tension and soothe your nerves.
How much milk should be consumed daily?
In order to get the full benefits of milk, including the nine essential nutrients, the USDA advises that adults should consume three servings of milk each day. A serving size is 1 cup of milk or yoghurt. So, go ahead—drink your milk. It’s definitely good for you.
