Got Milk, Got Nutrients

Dairy foods are excellent sources of calcium

Phosphorus: This is an important mineral in bones, teeth and a part of every cell in the body

 Riboflavin: This vitamin supports normal vision and healthy skin. It’s important to the production of energy in your body

Protein: This nutrient builds and repairs body tissues

Magnesium: This mineral is important in building healthy bones and teeth. It’s also 
important in muscle contractions and nerve impulses

 vitamin A: This is an important vitamin in maintaining healthy eyes and skin. It is also important in bone and tooth growth

Vitamin B6: This vitamin helps make red blood cells and helps build proteins in your body

Vitamin b12: This vitamin prevents anemia and helps maintain healthy nerve cells

Vitamin D: This vitamin helps maintain calcium and phosphorus for healthy bones. Milk provides appreciable amounts of vitamin D

If you were paying attention, you may have noticed calcium missing from that list. That’s because the following poem is devoted to the benefits of calcium (and what happens to your body if you don’t get enough of it)
