Your parents always told you that milk would give you strong bones. But what they may not have known is that calcium is just the start.
There’s a long list of essential nutrients in every glass of milk that fuel nearly every system and function in your body!
🚶Vitamin B12 helps build red blood cells, supports a healthy heart, and maintains the central nervous system, so you can think, move, feel, breathe, and react.
🪴Zinc works to maintain everything from a healthy immune system to supporting normal growth and development — it’s especially important if you’re feeding a growing family, or if you’ve got one on the way!
💪Thought potassium was only found in bananas? Think again. An 8-ounce glass of milk provides 10% of your daily potassium needs — supporting healthy blood pressure, muscle contraction, and nerve function.
That’s just three of the 13 essential nutrients found in milk. Sure, strong bones are critical to good health, but milk and dairy products can do so much more for you, your family, and your long-term wellness.
So, grab a glass from one of our DFA farmer-owned brands to build a stronger body and community at the link in our comments!
