Milk contains high-quality protein with all nine essential amino acids present. It is made up of 80% casein protein, which slowly releases protein at regular interval of time while remaining 20% is whey, which is easily digestible and highly absorbed protein helps to build muscle mass, repair body tissues and fight against infections. Besides, it also has a fair balance of carbohydrates and fats which complete it as a wholesome meal hence can be called “The Complete Food” for every age group.

High in Potassium and Calcium, which plays a crucial role in improving bone and teeth health, preventing fractures and other bone diseases. Cow’s milk is a major contributor of retinol (preformed vitamin A), potent antioxidant in the diets of young children, although inappropriate practices can lead to losses of vitamins from milk and milk products as they are susceptible to losses due to heat, exposure to air, light, change in pH or combination of these factors.
Since, cow milk is also a rich source of choline, an important nutrient for synthesis of neurotransmitter acetylcholine that plays important role in regulating mood, memory, and intelligence; it can prove to be a miracle drink for every age group. Vitamin D is not naturally present in cow’s milk, but it may be added alongside other nutrients to fortify cow’s milk. Vitamin D is important for bone health.

Physical development is an important indicator of a child’s overall health. It is a surprising scientific fact that children who consume cow’s milk grow taller. A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that 2-6-year-olds who consumed cow’s milk were taller than those who consumed plant-based or other types of animal-milk beverages. A 3-year-old child who drank 3 cups of cow’s milk a day was 1.5 cm taller than a child of the same age who drank other types of milk.
Cow milk is a good source of B vitamins which ensures healthy functioning of the brain, nervous system and sleep-wake cycles.

As you age, the bone-mineral density increases, and consuming milk can help you keep up your strength, so cow’s milk is not good for kids but also beneficial for adults.
