Milk: Milk is a drink you can and should enjoy without feeling guilty. It’s the one name-brand food product that everyone seems to agree is good for you, from whoever has been on the Food Network to Harvard Medical School professors.
This full fat milk contains no sugar, 18 grams of protein per cup and also highly nutritious vitamins A, D and K2 as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Drinking plenty of milk protects against osteoporosis over time because it contains both calcium and vitamin D – two nutrients essential for building bone density. Not only does milk have a significant amount of calcium – it also has more than seven times the level of Vitamin D found in many fruit juices.
