Milk May Improve Heart Health

According to a recent study, people who eat more dairy fat, found in whole milk, yogurt, and cheese, are less likely to develop heart disease than those who eat less dairy.

Calcium in milk has been demonstrated to lower cardiovascular diseases and the risk of strokes. Two long-term Japanese studies have found a link between daily calcium consumption and a lower risk of stroke, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. It also contains peptides that are thought to prevent the production of ACEs (angiotensin-converting enzymes), which raise blood pressure. As a result, get a glass of milk for a healthy heart! Furthermore, the magnesium and potassium in it act as vasodilators, lowering blood pressure, increasing blood flow to vital organs, and lowering heart and cardiovascular system stress.
