A glass of refreshing cold milk is a treat on a hot summer day. And of course milk is so important for girls because it contains bone-strengthening calcium, antioxidant nutrients like phosphorus and zinc, and vitamins A, B, and C. Milk is also an excellent vegetarian source of protein, which is needed in building and repairing muscle tissue.
Studies done with athletes over the past decade suggest that cold milk is the best drink to have after an intense and draining workout session. It has the complete package of carbohydrates and protein, which supply energy while repairing muscle tissue, speeding up muscle recovery. Dr. Stuart Phillips, an associate professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, says, "A glass of cold milk is refreshing, it rehydrates you and it helps restore muscle. It's also the source of nine essential nutrients so you get everything in one convenient package." Of course, it is best to drink skimmed or low-fat milk, produced with clean organic methods.
