drink more milk

Well actually I was asked to write a essay about this, and heres the part I wanna tell you guys about:

From a little baby I was given the wrong milk to drink;

Harvard School of Public Health, on the Consumption of Dairy Products (2005):
“The recommendation to drink three glasses of low-fat milk or eat three servings of other dairy products per day to prevent osteoporosis is another step in the wrong direction. … Three glasses of low-fat milk add more than 300 calories a day. This is a real issue for the millions of Americans who are trying to control their weight. What’s more, millions of Americans are lactose intolerant, and even small amounts of milk or dairy products give them stomachaches, gas, or other problems. This recommendation ignores the lack of evidence for a link between consumption of dairy products and prevention of osteoporosis. It also ignores the possible increases in risk of ovarian cancer and prostate cancer associated with dairy products.”

I recently discovered, after trying to consume more milk, that it gives me an awful stomach ache. 4 years ago

I dont drink it all that often since i get sick for some reason and no i’m not lactose intolerent. I will force myself to like it and hopefull shoot for at least 2 cups a day. 4 years ago

i want to be healthier!!! i barely can’t wait! 4 years ago

I went to the dentist today. The Xray showed I have bone loss around the teeth. It’s kind of like dental osteoporosis. I want to beat this, start with drinking 3 glasses of milk a day! 4 years ago

milk = ugh! soy milk, rice milk, nut mild = yum! 5 years ago

whatever. i’ve got my calcium gummy bears =) 5 years ago

I’ve realized that I need to drink milk more, too, for the reason of my hair being dry & brittle. Recently when I went to get my hair done, my beautician had to cut my hair a lot shorter than I thought because it had broke off so much. I also think that maybe drinking milk could maybe help my nails grow (plus if I would stop biting & picking at them that would greatly help). Above all else, milk is good for my body. A nice cold glass tastes good, too! 5 years ago

ive been drinking 3-4 cups a day. so yea. IM DONE5 years ago

i think it will be my resoultuion to drink a glass of milk like every day!! its supposed do give u stronger bones and nails and who doesn’t want that!!! 5 years ago

well, I definitely drink more milk now than before I started this goal. I’d say I drink about 5 glasses of milk a week. 5 years ago

I really dislike the taste of milk… but I can handle milk with chocolate syrup alright. My goal for now is just 1 glass a day… I know it sounds very minimal.. but would be a big deal for a milk-hater like me :) 5 years ago

I used to hate the taste of milk, but made a concious effort to drink it anyway. Try only drinking milk and water, for me it worked because I’d rather drink milk than water, at least it has some taste to it. I like it now. i can only drink skim milk though, real milk is too thick for me. 5 years ago

I got a three day streak going! 5 years ago

I’ve been doing pretty well with my two glasses a day goal. I’ve actually been drinking one HUGE glass each day; for some reason, that’s easier for me! 5 years ago

is my goal. I’ve barely been drinking one glass, lately, so I hope I can do this. Eventually, I’d like to work up to three. 5 years ago

Ok, so I’m drinking milk all the time now and actually kind of liking it. I want to keep this up, but I’m going to consider this a done thing since I’ve gotten myself used to drinking milk again now. 6 years ago

Another good thing about adding my glass of milk to my diet is that it’s helped me cut back on the amount of soda I drink. I was thinking of putting drink less soda as a goal, but in a way, this is the same sort of thing. I’ve been keeping up with my glass a day. It’s not tasting so bad to me anymore. When I’ve been drinking it for a month and it’s not so much of a thought of “oh I need to drink my milk today” then I’ll consider this done, though I plan to continue to always have a glass of milk a day. 6 years ago

since I put this on my list I’ve had a glass of milk everyday. This is hard for me because at some point in time the taste of plain milk became really disgusting to me. Strange because as a kid I’d have it for lunch everyday and I remember having a nice tall glass of milk after school and loving it. But now, well it’s just not that appealing to me. So I’d like to get to the point where I enjoy it again if that’s possible. I want the calcium and all the other vitamins I get from it. And I will say after drinking milk for a week my hair does seem softer, smoother, and glossier. I don’t know if the milk really has anything to do with that, but I’m going to tell myself it does so I have another reason to drink this stuff :p 6 years ago

But I’m just terribly afraid of osteoporosis! 6 years ago

Don’t get me wrong, I drink milk all the time as you can probably tell from my photo, on average about 1 litre a day. This is clearly not enough milk for me, I am gonna try and incorporate milk into every meal. Milk is the first and last source of goodness and nutrition, milk for hangovers and milk for healing, milk for life! 6 years ago

i need more h20 and also protein in my diet

and milk makes for a very good source both.

i like drinking chocolate milk with extra lowfat milk-powder inside so it becomes extra milky. not that it tastes any different. but its more milk. 6 years ago

they say dairy helps burn calories 7 years ago
