Milk Matters

January 11, 2014 by Morgan 1 Comment

I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge milk drinker. Not because I don’t like it, but because I always choose something else. But, I am a huge supporter of all dairy products. And I want to make sure my daughter gets her milk. I know how important milk is for my growing girl, and if you don’t have a lot of time on this Saturday here is a quick run down of what milk has to offer!


Milk has 9 essential nutrients to help you grow…

1. Calcium- Builds and maintains strong bones and teeth 

2. Vitamin D- Helps absorb calcium for healthy bones

3. Riboflavin- Converts food into energy 

4. Phosphorous- Helps keep bones strong 

5. Protein- Builds and maintains lean muscle

6. Potassium- Regulates fluid balance and blood pressure 

7. Vitamin A- Promotes good vision and healthy skin 

8. Vitamin B12- Helps red blood cells

9. Niacin- Converts food into energy
