Milk it for all its worth

             What is the one common thing that we all have, no matter which part of the world we are from? The answer is milk. Let it be cow milk, almond milk or even goat milk. We consume milk almost everyday in the form of tea, coffee, chocolate milk, protein shakes or even ice cream. Ever since we were little, our mothers would give us milk everyday even if we don't want it. After a while, even we got used it. Started liking it, even. Have you ever wondered why it was so important to drink milk? What ARE the benefits of drinking milk?


               Milk contains Calcium which is much needed for the growth and development of the body. The calcium also helps in keeping the bone and teeth strong. There are a lot of toxins in our body that we may have acquired in unhygienic places. Milk helps to neutralize all these toxins. The calories present in milk are the good kind and not the fattening kind. These calories help in keeping the body and mind energetic all day. In fact, studies show that it is easier to lose weight if you drink milk everyday. Also, milk is a great skin hydrating substance.

Unless of course, if you're lactose intolerant. But if you're not, then treat yourself to a nice cup of tea and have a great day.
