So… how many of these milk myths did you grow up believing? 👀💭
We’ve all grown up hearing: ‘Doodh piyo, taqat aayegi!’ 💪 But what if some of the things we believe about milk aren’t actually true?
Milk isn’t the villain or the hero, it’s about what fits your body and your child’s needs.🍼
Here’s what the latest science says 👇
✅ Milk isn’t the only way to get calcium: sesame, ragi, moringa & sardines do the job too!
✅ Whole milk is not your enemy: it can actually support better metabolic health.
✅ Plant milks aren’t automatically healthier: check their labels for sugar & additives.
✅ Even if you’re lactose-intolerant, some dairy is still okay!
💡 Bottom line is It’s not about skipping milk, it’s about knowing what works for your body.
