Adeq꧂uate consumption of milk and dairy products at different life stages can help prevent various chronic diseases, a study has found.
Resear𓂃chers said there is a positive link between the moderate intake of milk during pregnancy and birth weight, length, and bꦆone mineral content during childhood.
In addition, a daily intake of milk and dairy products among elderly people may reduce the ris♓k of frailty and sarcopenia, they said.
Thꦉe study, published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, was conducted by scientists from different Spanish, European, and American universities, and coordinated by Angel Gil, professor at the University of Granada (UGR), and Rosa M Ortega of the༺ Complutense University of Madrid.
The study reviews worldwide scientific literature on the role of dairy products in health and in the prevention of chronic diseases (cardiovasc♛ular, metabolic syndrome, colon or bladder cancer, and type 2 diabetes).
It also examines the effects of dairy products on growth✨, bone mineral density, genꦯeration of muscle mass, and during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Milk and dairy products contain multiple nutrients and contribute to meeting the nutri🍬tional requirement for protein, calcium, magnes﷽ium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, selenium, vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin B12, and pantothenic acid.
