From the very childhood, we often tend to avoid milk without knowing much about the benefits of drinking milk everyday that we can receive. But as we grow, we face various health problems related to deficit calcium, essential nutrients and more. Moreover, most of the people decrease their milk intake as they are not aware of the advantages of drinking milk. A glass of milk works wonders for both children as well as adults. It has been seen in various health experiments that just a glass of milk is equal to a meal. If you are eager to know the benefits of drinking milk everyday, then here is some useful information about the nutrients of milk.

The nutrients of milk are extremely important to help in building healthy muscle. The high amount of protein which is there in the milk encourages the building of muscle. It is seen that most of the sportsperson consume milk in good amount to make sure they get enough benefits from the protein. One of the most important advantages of drinking milk is that it helps in curing injured muscles. Besides obtaining lots of protein, the people who consume milk daily can get the benefits of its rich nutrients. Milk helps in gaining weight but in a balanced manner. The essential minerals obtained from milk are required for kids and grown-ups. The fluids in the body get restocked, and it also resists physical pain. Milk is a healthy substitute for a meal for those who are associated with sports like weight lifting and body building. Milk keeps their body extremely hydrated throughout the day and even during hard working and practice sessions. Milk also works as the best energy booster than any other sports drinks.

Drinking milk benefits include decreasing the risk of a bone ailment known as osteoporosis. This condition is generally seen in women who are above 30 years of age. In this condition, the bone loses its strength and density. The bone becomes fragile as this condition causes a large amount of tissue damage. When calcium or Vitamin D deficiency occurs within the body, osteoporosis may attack. To restore the requirement of vitamin D and to increase the calcium percentage within the body, one should intake milk on a daily basis. This helps the bones to hold their strength and thereby make a person strong enough to fight or prevent Osteoporosis.

It is seen that those who want to lose weight fast, milk helps them a lot. Irrespective of the type of milk, whether it is skimmed, toned or simple full-fat milk, it helps one to lose weight. The fact behind this is that a glass of milk often gives the sense of fullness for a long time, and hence, it prevents one from the junk snacks, in between the meals. Benefits of drinking milk are far fetching. Just a glass of milk will provide you with all the essential nutrients that a body requires and that too half of the calories that one gets from a full meal.

Milk provides extremely strong bones because of its calcium content. Our bones require calcium to be in good condition, and milk alone can provide the rich calcium to the bones. Therefore, if you want to prevent yourself from any sort of bone problems, then it is required to include milk within your daily diet. Bone fractures and some other problems like bone dislocation are generally faced by those who do not take milk daily and suffer weak bone condition.

Teeth also require a high amount of calcium which can be obtained from the milk calcium. Calcium is the important factor for making the teeth strong. It is to be noted that calcium can be taken only if your body has an adequate amount of vitamin D. The decaying and premature breaking of the teeth can be prevented if you take milk daily. Milk also builds up a protection shield against cavities and decaying, besides protecting the teeth enamel. Milk also strengthens the weak gums and also stops gum bleeding.

The various mineral and essential vitamins that can be obtained from the milk, help in retaining the skin fairness and glow. Milk makes our skin feel soft and provides a smooth texture to our skin and hence it is often used as the natural beauty treatment technique. Milk acts as a cleansing agent which purifies our internal system thereby making out skin blemish-free.

Drinking milk benefits consist of relieving stress with its various vitamins and minerals. Milk works best for increasing the energy level by diminishing the tiredness, even after a hard working day. Milk is known to revitalize the body, and even a cold milkshake can rejuvenate you fully. Milk soothes the tensions of the nerves and the tensed muscles. Milk is the best medicine for those who suffer from insomnia and provides sound sleep.

This is a much aware fact that milk can prevent and fight various diseases and thereby helps us to live a healthy life. Various diseases related to heart like stroke and high blood pressure level can be controlled by milk. The terrible feeling of migraine pain is reduced by milk besides preventing some sorts of cancers. Cholesterol level also stays within control with daily consumption of milk.

There are a large number of foods that cause irritation due to acidity. Milk is the best healer that can be used for acidity. Neutralizing property of milk gives a person a great relief from heartburn.

Benefits of drinking milk consist of hydrating the full body throughout the day. With the mineral content and other nutrients, milk keeps the body's hydration intact. The water content gets optimized if we take milk regularly. Even after hard exercises, one can have a full glass of warm milk to revive the energy back.

Drinking milk benefits are really abundant in number, besides maintaining the best bone health within a human body.

A large observational cohort study in Sweden found that women consuming more than 3 glasses of milk a day had almost twice the mortality over 20 years compared to those women consuming less than one glass a day. In addition, the high milk-drinkers did not have improved bone health. In fact, they had more fractures, particularly hip fractures.

Interestingly, the study also found that fermented milk products (cheese and yogurt) significantly decreased mortality and fractures among these women. For each serving of these fermented dairy products, the rate of mortality and hip fractures was reduced by 10-15%. The researchers pin the negative effects of liquid milk on D-galactose, a breakdown product of lactose that has been shown to be pro-inflammatory. Milk has much more D-galactose than does cheese or yogurt.

I am surprised that this study garnered so much mass media attention upon its release, as it highlights the deleterious side of milk, but I also think it is important to keep the findings in context. And when it comes to the health effects of dairy, the context is not so pretty:

1. In interventional animal experiments and human experiments, dairy protein has been shown to promote increased cholesterol levels (in the human studies and animal studies) and atherosclerosis (in the animal studies).

2. Milk intake has been implicated in constipation and ear infections (cited in ).

3. Much of the world's population cannot adequately digest milk due to lactose intolerance.

So despite being very pleased that the public is glimpsing some of the evidence against milk in this recent study (though they also could be hearing about the benefits of cheese and yogurt from this same study), I think there is a far more powerful story; a story that takes into account the largely hidden context of diet and dairy research. There is a wealth of indirect evidence of very serious possible harms of consuming dairy foods, and, on the flip side, the evidence that milk prevents fractures is scant.

As we look beyond the headlines, it is hard to think that we should continue to consume the lactation fluid that exists in nature to nourish and rapidly grow calves.

Thanks to the dairy industry's massive PR machine, cow's milk has long been touted as the go-to source for calcium. But look past the spin and it's easy to see that milk does a body bad. If you've "got milk" (and cheese, yogurt, and ice cream), you've likely got a host of health problems awaiting you, too. So why is milk bad for you and cows? Here are 12 reasons why.

Despite the hype, cow's milk actually robs our bones of calcium. Animal proteins produce acid when they're broken down, and calcium is an excellent acid neutralizer, so ... you can see where this is going. In order to neutralize and flush out the acids, our bodies have to use the calcium that the milk contains-as well as some from our own stores. So every glass of milk we drink leaches calcium from our bones. That's why medical study after medical study has found that people who consume the most cow's milk have significantly higher fracture rates than those who drink little to no milk. And if you're eating large amounts of cheese? Throw in a heaping helping of saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol on top of that.

Milk and cheese have been linked to an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. But dairy-free diets? They've been shown to slow its progress.

The lactose in cow's milk can be difficult for people to digest, resulting in nausea, cramps, gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Difficulty with dairy digestion can develop later in life and result in progressively worsening symptoms.

In multiple studies, the consumption of all types of dairy "products" was linked to an increased prevalence and severity of acne in both boys and girls.

A single serving of milk can contain as much as 24 mg of heart-harming cholesterol. A single ounce of queso packs 30 mg. But no plant food contains any cholesterol whatsoever.

A Swedish study showed that women who consumed four or more servings of dairy "products" each day were twice as likely to develop serous ovarian cancer.

A different beast than lactose intolerance, milk allergies can cause potentially strong and dangerous reactions (usually in young children), such as vomiting or anaphylaxis.

Cows are often pumped full of antibiotics to keep them alive and producing milk in filthy factory farm conditions. We can thank this rampant overuse of them for the surge in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. When humans are infected by these superbugs, antibiotics at best have decreased effectiveness and at worst are powerless.

A single serving of whole milk can contain more than 20 percent of the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat. If you consume three servings of whole milk, you're already at 60 percent for the day-even before eating any food. Cheese is even worse: Harvard reports that pizza and cheese are the biggest food sources of saturated fat in the American diet.

Despite industry claims, a study of more than 12,000 children showed that the more milk they drank, the more weight they gained-and skim and 1 percent milk actually appeared to lead to more weight gain than drinking 2 percent or whole milk. The study also found that replacing soda with milk did not lead to weight loss.

11. Sodium

Cheese can contain up to 400 mg of sodium per ounce. Varieties including halloumi, imported blue, feta, and Edam (as well as processed cheeses) are so loaded with sodium that they're actually saltier than seawater.

12. Common Sense

Besides humans (and companion animals who are fed by humans), no species drinks milk beyond their natural age of weaning or drinks the milk of another species. Cow's milk is suited to the nutritional needs of calves, who have four stomachs and gain hundreds of pounds in a matter of months-sometimes weighing more than 1,000 pounds before they're 2 years old. Cow's milk does not suit the nutritional needs of humans, so it's no wonder that consuming it and its derivatives causes us so many problems.

Is Milk a Fat-Burning Food?
Maybe. In a 6-month study, University of Tennessee researchers found that overweight people who downed three servings a day of calcium-rich dairy lost more belly fat than those who followed a similar diet minus two or more of the dairy servings.

In addition, the researchers discovered that calcium supplements didn't work as well as milk. Why? They believe that while calcium may increase the rate at which your body burns fat, other active compounds in dairy products (such as milk proteins) provide an additional fat-burning effect.

Of course, the key to success is following a weight-loss diet to begin with. After all, downing your dairy with a box of doughnuts is no way to torch your gut.

Does It Build Muscle?
Absolutely. In fact, milk is one of the best muscle foods on the planet. You see, the protein in milk is about 20 percent whey and 80 percent casein. Both are high-quality proteins, but whey is known as a "fast protein" because it's quickly broken down into amino acids and absorbed into the bloodstream. That makes it a very good protein to consume after your workout.

Casein, on the other hand, is digested more slowly. So it's ideal for providing your body with a steady supply of smaller amounts of protein for a longer period of time-like between meals or while you sleep. Since milk provides both, one big glass gives your body an ideal combination of muscle-building proteins.

Do Hormones Make Milk Unhealthy?
Not unless you're injecting the milk. Here's the full story: In 1993 the FDA approved the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in cattle. This practice resulted in greater milk production at less cost to the dairy farmer, a savings that has been passed on to you at your local supermarket. But it has also sparked much controversy, because rBGH boosts milk's concentration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), a hormone that's been linked to cancer.

Unlike steroid hormones, which can be taken orally, rBGH and IGF must be injected to have any effect. That's because the process of digestion destroys these "protein" hormones. So drinking milk from hormone-treated cows doesn't transfer the active form of these chemicals to your body. However, there is one ethical downside to consider: It's not good for the cows. Canadian researchers discovered that cows given hormones are more likely to contract an udder infection called mastitis.

What About Antibiotics?
No one really knows. Some scientists argue that milk from cows given antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance in humans, making these types of drugs less effective when you take them for an infection. But this finding has never been proved.

If you're uneasy, you can purchase antibiotic-free (and typically hormone-free, as well) milk from specialty grocers, such as Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, or select USDA-certified organic milk, which is available at most supermarkets.

Skim or Whole?
It depends on your taste. While you've probably always been told to drink reduced-fat milk, the majority of scientific studies show that drinking whole milk actually improves cholesterol levels, just not as much as drinking skim does.

One recent exception: Danish researchers found that men who consumed a diet rich in whole milk experienced a slight increase in LDL cholesterol (six points). However, it's worth noting that these men drank six 8-ounce glasses a day, an unusually high amount. Even so, their triglycerides--another marker of heart-disease risk-decreased by 22 percent.

The bottom line: Drinking two to three glasses of milk a day, whether it's skim, 2 percent, or whole, lowers the likelihood of both heart attack and stroke-a finding confirmed by British scientists.

If you're dieting, the lower-fat option is an easy way to save a few calories. When it comes to building muscle, though, whole milk may be your best choice: Scientists at the University of Texas medical branch in Galveston found that drinking whole milk after lifting weights boosted muscle protein synthesis-an indicator of muscle growth-2.8 times more than drinking skim did.

"Milk is a deadly poison," according to the Dairy Education Board. In fact, if you peruse this special interest group's Web site, notmilk.com, you'll find dozens of articles about the purported evils of this popular beverage. One claim, for example, is that milk from cows contains cancer-causing hormones and dairy industry dollars have kept that fact bottled up.
