TEN HEALTHY REASONS TO DRINK MILK

    Perhaps your mother or grandmother told you to drink three glasses of milk a day to help you grow strong bones, but now research has shown other benefits to drinking milk. Please note that calcium gives even more benefits when combined with other nutrients and weight bearing exercise. The other nutrients that increase the health effects of milk are Vitamins K and D, boron, and magnesium. Fifteen minutes a day in sunlight can help to give the body natural Vitamin D, but this vitamin can also be taken as a supplement. Boron is found in almonds, avocadoes, and peanut butter. Magnesium can be naturally found in leafy greens, tofu, legumes, and potato skins. Good sources of Vitamin K are found in spinach, leafy greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage. Eat these mentioned vegetables, walk in the sun a little bit every day, drink milk, and enjoy your healthy body!

Here are just a few of the benefits you can derive from drinking milk daily:

1. Helps prevent migraines
