Drinking Milk May Help You Lose Weight
New studies indicate that consuming adequate amounts of calcium may do more than strengthen your bones. In fact, calcium helps break down body fat and may prevent fat cells from making fat.
Researchers from Purdue and Creighton universities and the University of Tennessee conducted several studies on calcium intake and weight. Results consistently showed that people who consumed more calcium had a lower body weight or gained less weight than those who consumed lower amounts of calcium.
For the best health benefits, try to consume at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium every day. Good sources include dairy foods, dark-green leafy vegetables, fish with edible bones and calcium-fortified foods.
