What’s the scoop on milk and yogurt?

We need to consume milk and milk products like yogurt and cheese because they are good sources of calcium and Vitamin D, which are essential for good strong bones. If we do not consume adequate calcium and Vitamin D then we are very likely to develop a condition known as osteoporosis later on in life, which can result is crippling fractures. For good bone health, we need 4-5 servings of milk and milk products a day. Examples of 1 serving size are 1 cup of low-fat milk or yogurt, 1 oz of low-fat cheese, or ½ a cup of cottage cheese.
