Dairy’s Health Benefits

Healthy eating has lifelong benefits. Decades of established research support dairy as an essential part of a healthy plate.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring. Dairy is a crowd favorite that happens to be packed with nutrients – and its many unique culinary properties help it shine in a variety of recipes. From milk to cheese to yogurt, dairy tends to make everything taste better.

Sports Nutrition

Nutrition is particularly crucial for athletes, who are always pushing their bodies to do more. Whether elite or weekend warrior, athletes of all levels and ages can embrace dairy’s essential nutrients to fuel both workout and recovery.

Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance doesn’t have to mean dairy avoidance. Too many people give up the crucial nutrients dairy provides if they have trouble digesting it. Nutrition experts recommend working with individuals to keep dairy in the diet even if they have lactose intolerance.
