We are aware, more or less, of the benefits of drinking milk. Milk is good for the bones because it offers a rich source of calcium, a mineral essential for healthy bones and teeth. Drinking milk regularly aids indigestion, promotes healthy heart, regularizes blood pressure, and what not.

Milk and Diabetes

A health study published in 2005 revealed that people who consume milk on a regular basis may have a lower risk of type -2 diabetes compared to people who do not drink milk. Another study on 37,000 adult women who regularly drink low-fat milk has shown them to have a very small risk of type-2 diabetes.

Milk and Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis of the knee currently has no cure. But researchers say drinking milk every day has been linked to reduced progression of the disease.

Milk and Neurology

Milk is a rich source of choline - an important nutrient found to support sleep, muscle movement, learning, and memory. It also aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, assists in the absorption of fat, and can lessen chronic inflammation.

Milk is a source of Vitamin D

Adequate vitamin D levels support the production of serotonin - a hormone associated with mood, appetite, and sleep. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with depression, chronic fatigue, and PMS. Cow's milk and other foods are often fortified with vitamin D. 

Milk has Potassium

An optimal intake of potassium is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure, protection against loss of muscle mass, preservation of bone mineral density, and reduction in the formation of kidney stones.

Milk Fortification

Milk is fortified with numerous vitamins, including vitamins A and D. It may also contain small amounts of vitamin B2, or riboflavin, vitamin B12, and some other essential nutrients. Vitamin D is not naturally present in cow's milk, but it may be added alongside other nutrients to fortify cow's milk – as done in Purabi Smart Milk. Important for bone health, vitamin D aids in the formation, growth, and repair of bones. It also plays the key role in calcium absorption and boosting the immune function. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with osteoporosis, depression, chronic fatigue, muscle pain, PMS, hypertension, and breast and colon cancer.

So, fill up your glass of milk every day and bring in the healthy habit today.
