About A glass of milk

A glass of milk is a staple beverage enjoyed worldwide, valued for its rich nutrient profile and versatility. Typically sourced from cows, milk is a key component of Western cuisine but is also widely consumed across Asian, Middle Eastern, and other global diets. Packed with essential nutrients, a standard 8-ounce serving delivers calcium for strong bones, protein for muscle repair, and vitamins like D, A, and B12 that support overall health. It also contains potassium, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. While whole milk offers healthy fats, lower-fat options like skim milk reduce calorie and fat content for those aiming to manage weight. However, milk does contain naturally occurring sugars (lactose), which some individuals may find difficult to digest. Additionally, excessive consumption of whole milk can contribute to increased saturated fat intake. Nevertheless, milk continues to be a convenient and versatile choice for balanced nutrition.
