Dairy, it’s one of the main groups in the food pyramid. It provides us with calcium (for strong bones), protein (for muscle development) and good fats to keep us active during the day.

But not everyone includes dairy products as a staple ingredient in their diets. It’s no longer fashionable to drink milk as much as it used to be. Isn’t it strange that when people didn’t have machines for milk cooling, they drank more of it?

Milk can do wonders for your health. If you’re looking for ways to bring more dairy into your life, these tips will help you.

·     Make milk a habit

Bring milk into your everyday life by enjoying a glass with every meal. This way you’ll learn to include dairy in your routine.

If you enjoy coffee or tea, consider adding milk to it. This can be a sneaky way of getting a good dose of calcium without having to really think about it.

·     Use intolerance to your advantage

If you’re lactose-intolerant it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t get the nutrients that other milk drinkers can. You just have to think about it more carefully. 

Switching dairy milk to soy can be a great way of getting your body a good amount of calcium daily. Don’t think that just because you can’t have dairy milk that all milk is a no-go.

·     Yogurt

Yogurt is a healthy alternative to a dessert option. Because it’s made from milk it contains a ton of calcium and all the other good things that you find in dairy products.

It’s better for you than ice cream because it usually doesn’t contain any added sugar or flavors. Adding yogurt to your diet can not only benefit that tastes of your food, but provide you with additional nutrients daily!

If you avoid milk because of the calories, there are many alternatives out there for you. Lighter milk options provide the same great taste that full-fat milk does without the heaviness. Searching for ways to find healthy dairy products has never been easier.

Add more milk to your life and you’ll instantly feel better. Studies have shown that milk provides the best source of nutrients to support healthy muscle, bone and tooth growth. Think about it: the ingredients in milk are enough to support the life and development of a baby calf!
