Many lovers avoid milk, believing that it causes mucus, fattening or unhealthy. However, milk is a rich source of calcium, vitamin D and quality protein, all vital for strong bones, teeth and muscle health. Milk avoidance, without replacing these nutrients, can lead to weak bones, dental problems, muscle seizures and even osteoporosis in later life. If you have a true allergy or lactose intolerance, milk can be a healthy part of your diet. There are also many options for milk and sour milk, such as yogurt that can be easier to digest. Cutting milk without proper substitutes can unintentionally harm your overall nutrition.
