While milk has always been a healthy way to get lots of vitamins and minerals that every healthy person needs, the idea that milk has fat has turned off lots of people. It should be noted that fat in and of itself can be harmful to the body in large quantities, but to not drink milk because of the fat content truly does a disservice to your body.
Milk is an excellent source of two major vitamins, Vitamin D and Vitamin A. Vitamin D is a vitamin that is created by the skin when the sunlight hits it, however for people that do not get lots of sun and are indoors a lot, milk can help. Vitamin A is a great vitamin that is necessary for good eyes and milk as a whole is a great source of calcium which builds strong bones and teeth.
While there are many types of milk, usually based on fat content, make it a priority to have at least a glass of milk per day and if you have children, they should enjoy milk more often. Besides drinking straight milk, look into fresh cheeses, yogurt and even ice cream has the benefits of delicious milk.
