Milk for Life

Milk is our first food, and provides the basic building blocks for
good health, with lifelong benefits. People know that the calcium
in milk helps to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. Milk
and dairy products are the richest source of calcium.


But milk is a natural nutrient power house, providing not
just calcium but also many vitamins and minerals essential for
healthy bodies. It is an excellent source of high quality protein,
vital for brain development and the growth and repair of muscle
tissue. Milk provides vitamin B12 to build red blood cells and
transport oxygen from lungs to working muscles, and vitamin
B2 which facilitates the conversion of food into energy, and is
essential in the development of the nervous system.


Milk delivers vitamin A to help maintain normal vision and
skin. Milk provides phosphorus for our bones and for body cell
energy, potassium to help regulate fluid balance and blood
pressure, niacin to keep enzymes functioning normally, and
carbohydrate for energy. Plus vitamin B1, vitamin B6, folate,
iodine, magnesium, zinc – and more.
Research has identified more than 100 different components in
milk. Evidence is mounting that consumption of milk and dairy
products may reduce blood pressure, dental cavities and the risk
of cancer, while enhancing bone strength and immunity.
