Milks good for your heart

A glass of milk a day could help reduce strokes and heart disease scientists say. People over 50 with low levels of vitamin D, which is found in milk had double the heart failure risk.

They were also 78 percent more likely to have stroke, a study of nearly 28000 over 50s found.

Experts at intermountain Medical Centre, Salt Lake City, Utah, said “a moderate” vitamin D deficiency posed great risks.

Milk is a drink not liked by everyone, but has always been beneficial. This is one of the reasons why we are now asked to feed babies breast milk.

Breast milk which has many benefits for babies including making them stronger to fight normal day to day colds and flu’s are being ignored by many parents. If you want to see your baby healthy, then you should breastfeed them as long as possible within reasons.

As for us adults we should stick to our cow’s milk. A glass a day can go a long way to help you with some of the most common health problems we suffer these days. Also to add, it helps reduce blood pressure.

It may not be for everyone and not everyone can drink it. My own daughter has difficulties in trying to drink it and she is only 3. Yet when she see’s a can of coke, she will wrestle me to the ground for it. But you can try to have a glass with anything you wish. For example your morning cereals, or a light milk coffee. Of course you should try and avoid adding too much sugar or coffee. This is to change the taste of the milk a little if you have a problem with it that is.

So get going and get yourself a glass of milk.
