Milk is a superfood that offers many benefits to your health thanks to the following nutrients it contains, namely, protein, carbohydrates, fats, calcium, choline, magnesium, riboflavin, folate, potassium and vitamins A, B6, B12 and D.
Here’s how dairy boosts and maintains your health:
Feel it in your bones
Calcium sticks to the collagen frameworks within our bone tissue, forming hard crystals which help build strong bones,maintain bone density, and reduce the risk of fractures.
Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium and maintain bone mass, helping prevent osteoporosis. It’s no surprise that milk moustaches and pearly whites always go together!
🎶“Because I’m Happeee”🎶
Dairy products boost brain health, leading to improved memory and mood. Choline, an essential nutrient, assists in the production of neurotransmitters that control behaviours such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine. Whether it’s ooey-gooey cheese, frozen yoghurt or chocolate milk, it’s sure to put you in a good m-oooo-d.
Taking “get well soon” to new heights
Milk’s immune system-boosting properties, such as probiotics which also contribute to digestive health and increased immune response, along with calcium and high protein levels assist with the healing of wounds and blood clotting. Proteins found in blood create a “plug-like effect” that prevents the loss of too much blood while also fast-tracking healing.
Keeps your ticker pulsing
Potassium enables the excretion of sodium from the kidneys and reduces the tension in blood vessel walls, whichassists with maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It also increases blood flow to vital organs, reducing the risk of heart disease. Just another reason to ❤️ dairy!
Popeye should have known this one!
Dairy is protein-rich, which helps to repair body tissue and encourage lean muscle mass. This protein helps support the immune system’s susceptibility and recovery and is needed daily for muscles to rebuild themselves.
Da-iry say it – there is no doubt that this is no old-wives’ tale. It doesn’t matter which dairy you keep in the fridge or pantry, it’s all good for you! Just make sure you check the label to ensure it’s proudly South African; that way you know you are supporting local and supporting livelihoods that work to keep these tasty and delicious products on your table.
