The biggest advantage of milk is that it contains too much calcium, which can ensure the calcium content of the fetus for pregnant women; For children, it can promote bone development and growth; For the elderly (especially osteoporosis), drinking milk is better for bones. After menopause, women lose calcium quickly, which is more likely to lead to osteoporosis. Milk has a high calcium content and is easily absorbed by the body, so both men and women should drink more milk to prevent osteoporosis. Compared with oral calcium tablets, calcium in milk is more easily absorbed by human body.

In addition, the fat in milk is composed of low-carbon chains and unsaturated fatty acids, and the cholesterol content is low. In addition, milk itself contains a substance that inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol by liver cells, so drinking milk will not only cause an increase in cholesterol levels, but will reduce cholesterol in the body. Nutrients in milk can reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of stroke.
