The videos on this page bring milk’s benefits to life in ways you definitely haven’t seen before. Enjoy!
BUILD MUSCLE WITH MILK
Milk helps you get strong and stay strong
What you drink is important—especially when you’re active. The carbohydrates and protein in milk help build your muscles and keep them going longer. What’s more, science is finding that chocolate milk’s post-workout recovery benefits go far beyond tasting delicious.
RECHARGE OVERNIGHT WITH MILK
The calming effects of milk
Sometimes the old remedies are the best ones. That advice about drinking a warm glass of milk before sleep is a perfect example. Whatever temperature you enjoy it at, the tryptophan and calcium in milk can help you sleep more soundly.
MILK AND YOUR HEART: STRONGER TOGETHER
Even Stronger Together
Your heart’s worst enemy is cardiovascular disease. Luckily, milk is its best friend. More and more research is finding that an “intake of dairy products is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and with lower blood pressure in adults.”
