Why are dairy products important in your diet?
Milk is one of the most versatile and nutritious foods available to mankind.
Easily accessible, milk and its by-products are a valuable source of calcium
and an excellent source of protein. Dairy products are an essential element of
a healthy diet. The long-term benefits for bone and dental health, for
example, are well established and many other new and emerging benefits are
currently being investigated.
Foods derived from milk are calcium rich. Calcium helps build strong bones and
teeth. Nutritionists recommend a choice of 3 servings daily. Up to 5 daily
servings are recommended for teenagers and pregnant women. There is a common
misconception that dairy products are fattening. However, exciting new
research has revealed that as calcium in dairy products helps reduce body fat,
3 servings of dairy products a day are recommended to contribute to a lower
body weight, particularly for females.
