Wednesday, June 1, 2022 12:15 am - 11:45 pm Why National Dairy Month is ImportantDairy is good for your bonesCalcium is crucial to the growth and strengthening of bones. A simple glass of milk, some yogurt, or a piece of cheese helps to fight off brittle bones and osteoporosis.Dairy reduces blood pressureDiets rich in potassium help maintain healthy blood pressure. Dairy products — especially yogurt, fluid milk, and soy milk — provide potassium, and can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes.Milk is good for your teethYour teeth get stronger and healthier when you drink milk. Calcium helps protect your teeth against gum disease and keeps your jawbone strong and healthy. In addition, the protein helps to neutralize acids in the mouth.How to Observe National Dairy MonthHave an ice cream sundae partyInvite some friends over for a summer treat as you add some potassium, calcium, and yes, some sugar, to your diet.Visit a local dairy farmFind out where it all comes from. Go to a nearby dairy farm to learn how the process works from the start.Drink milk to rehydrateStudies show that milk is superior to water and sports drinks after a workout. Milk is rich in sodium and potassium — both of which help to retain fluids and cause your body to sweat less. In addition, milk contains protein to help your muscles recover quickly.4 Dairy Delicious Facts About Milk1.Got milk?Milk is the only food that you can survive on alone. It has every nutrient you need.2.The world loves milkThe world's population consumes over 2.1 billion liters every day. That’s enough to fill up 813 Olympic-sized swimming pools.3.Cows have friendsDairy cows are social animals. Like people, they will make friends and bond with some, while avoiding others.4.Cows can produce a ton of milkA cow turns grass into milk within two to three days. Depending on the breed, a cow can make between 25 and 40 liters of milk per day.Source:NationalToday.com ========================================= Office Closed Monday, July 4, 2022 12:00 pm - 12:00 pm Our offices will be closed and staff will be unavailable today.
