This weekend we are celebrating World Milk Day 🥛
Milk and dairy is important in a healthy balanced diet, providing many nutrients essential for good health at all age.
Milk and dairy typically provide almost one third of our recommended calcium intakes but the nutrition provided by dairy products goes way beyond calcium alone. A single glass of semi-skimmed milk provides protein, phosphorus, potassium, iodine, riboflavin and pantothenic acid and largely about 72 per cent of our daily needs for vitamin B12. The main dietary source of B12 for vegetarians is dairy.
Together, the nutrients in milk and dairy help to:
*Keep muscles, bones, nerves, teeth, skin and vision healthy
*Release energy from foods and reduce tiredness and fatigue
*Maintain healthy blood pressure
*Support normal growth and brain development
*And even support normal immune functioning
