How Does Your Milk Score?


These days, there are hurdles big and small that every woman has to face. From career woman to full-time mom, life doesn’t stop for anyone. Having a hectic schedule is not an excuse to settle for less than what you really need.

Is It Just About Strong Bones?
When someone says milk, calcium is the first thing that comes to mind. Apart from aiding in strengthening and developing bones, calcium has the capacity to maintain optimum bone health as well as help prevent degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It is also known to cut pre-menstrual symptoms in half. Drinking a glass of milk can also aid in reducing unwanted stress your period brings. Calcium from milk also aids in blood clotting and the regulation of your heart’s rhythm. It’s a small price to pay for good health, don’t you think?

Does Milk Make You Fat?
More often than not, most women avoid milk altogether simply because of the notion that drinking it encourages weight gain. Low-fat milk isn’t high in saturated fat unlike other dairy products. And it has significantly lower amount of fat and calories while maintaining the same amount of calcium, protein and vitamin content. Just imagine having the same perks as drinking whole milk while maintaining a killer body!

Can Milk protect Your Skin?
With the sun’s hot rays and harsh polluted air, your skin is bound to suffer. Shouldn’t your milk contain vitamin A, vitamin E and Zinc? The combination of vitamins act as antioxidants vital to protecting your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays that produce cell damaging free radicals. And with vitamin E as an active ingredient, now milk can help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
