Many people are aware that dairy foods such as milk, yogurt and cheese are high in calcium, which is important for building and maintaining strong bones. However calcium is just one benefit of eating dairy foods.
Dairy foods provide a unique package of over 10 essential nutrients with a wide range of benefits. These nutrients are important for healthy blood, nervous and immune systems, eyesight, muscle and nerve function, healthy skin, energy levels and growth and repair in all parts of your body.
Protein is one of the important nutrients contained in milk, yogurt and cheese, making them filling, hunger-busting snack choices that can help you feel fuller for longer.
Did you know a 250ml glass of regular milk contains around 8g of protein, which is roughly the same as in a 250g tub of yogurt or 40g (2 slices) of cheese?
Research has shown that children and adults who regularly consume dairy foods have better quality diets – they are more likely to have an adequate intake of many of the essential nutrients than those who cut out or limit dairy foods.
