Abbott X Shopee: Here's Why Drinking Milk is Important for Kids and even Adults!

Why Drinking Milk is Important

Milk is the first food we intake after we are born. And whether it is breastmilk or formula milk, it is designed to be the sole source of nourishment at least for the first 6 months of life. But over time, as we are introduced to solid food, we get vitamins and nutrients from various food we eat such as fruits, vegetables, rice, bread, and meat.

But should we stop drinking milk? No, definitely no.

Milk as Great Source of Vitamins and Nutrients

By now, we should have established the idea that milk is nutrient-packed. After all, we won't be entrusting it to be our kid's primary "food" at the start of their life. We always hear that milk is an excellent source of calcium, but there are a lot more than this! It also contains vitamin A, magnesium, zinc, thiamine (B1), potassium, B12, calcium, vitamin D, protein and fatty acids that are important in our bodily functions.

Milk to Supplement Proper Diet and Exercise

Although we know that milk is nutritious, it should not replace our normal meal. We still need to have that proper diet which contains Go, Grow, and Glow food. We still have to do those routine exercises and activities to keep our body moving. But milk is a great supplement to proper diet and exercise as even though we eat the healthiest food, there are some nutrients that only appear in small quantities in food but are significantly present in milk such as calcium, potassium, and vitamin D.

Milk to Level Up Child's Learning

Some parents think that when their child starts eating solid food, having milk isn't as necessary as before. But in fact, as our child grows, the more we need to ensure he/she is getting all the nutrients needed. Especially at the age of 3 and older, this is a very critical stage where a child starts to develop logical thinking, problem solving, and creativity.

Milk for You to Stay Strong despite Age

As we grow older in life, we lose muscle mass. HMB in combination with protein (both found in milk) build muscle mass and has nutrients to support normal immune system function. Note that although HMB can be found in food, it appear in very small quantities and so taking in milk formulated for adults - such as Ensure Gold - greatly helps in filling this need. Milk is also associated with healthy bone so adding this in our diet may prevent bone diseases later on our life.

Stay Strong with Ensure Gold

With the help of Ensure Gold together with proper diet and exercise, an adult can have stronger legs, longer walking distance, less risk of falls, increased hand grip strength, and better endurance.
