Milk Has Unexpected BenefitsFiled Under: Drinks, Healthy choices

Apparently milk does more than just do a body good.  Recent research has shown that milk can actually help you lose weight.  I’m thinking that to get the benefits I will probably have to drink the milk plain (not with ice cream and a little fruit blended in it), but I’m willing to give it a go.

Our house is already full of milk drinkers.  Raising a brood of boys means a regular lecture about the importance of milk.  I recently joined the bandwagon and have been partaking of a glass of mild with supper.  It’s easier to get the kids to drink what you want when its the only drink offered to anyone.

I take it a step farther in our home.  We use organic milk from grass feed cows.  The benefits of going green when it comes to milk are well known.  Unfortunately, the grain fed cows tend to produce more milk so farmers stick with the grain.  It might cost more, but even without the added health benefits our family would be drinking the organic milk.  It just tastes better.

So, whether you want to grow big and strong or are looking for some added health benefits or just want to lose a couple of pounds, milk is the one drink that can fulfill it all.  So you just have to wonder – do YOU got milk?
