Fuel for Life
Are common complaints with your patients and client's fatigue, exhaustion and low energy? Do you see patients with cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure concerns? Or are your patients overwhelmed by complex nutrition messaging and have perceptions that dairy foods cause weight gain?
Find out more about dairy’s role as a core, health-promoting food, not a guilty pleasure or indulgence. Dairy is natural source of high-quality protein, carbohydrate, vitamin B12 and iodine; nutrients that support energy, satiety and lean muscle mass maintenance. Milk, cheese and yoghurt can fit within various dietary approaches to support disease prevention, like the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and Mediterranean-style diets with proven positive cardioprotective effects.
