World Milk day 2018: 7 Benefits of drinking Milk you never knew before

Remember when your mother used to run after you so that you drink at least 2 glasses of milk every day? Well, she wanted you to grow stronger each day. In 2001, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) selected June 1st as World Milk Day, to celebrate the important contributions of the dairy sector to sustainability, economic development, livelihoods and nutrition. To incorporate this healthy habit of drinking milk, the Global Dairy Platform is coordinating global celebrations on June 1, 2018.

 

The day has originated in order to raise awareness of how important milk is for healthy nutrition. If you haven’t thought about the various benefits of milk yet, we suggest sit down and take a look at everything milk does for your body that you didn’t know.

As we already told you that milk works as a stress reliever, it also relaxes your body in that time of the months. So now you don’t have to worry much about those menstrual cramps.

 

 

We can’t help but eat all the yummy spicy junk food but it often makes us uneasy by releasing toxins and acids in our stomach. Next time rather than popping a pill, drink a glass of milk and see the magic unfold.

 

 

Milk is not just meant to make your bones stronger but helps you fight diseases a swell. It strengthens your immune system and the ability to reduce the production of cholesterol by your liver and helps improve eyesight.
