To drink or not to drink milk

During the last few weeks we have touched on liquids like coconut water and coffee and their pros and cons for your fitness journey, but what about milk?

Milk has long been an important part of the human diet, but more recently has become somewhat of a pariah in the world of exercise and bodybuilding. One major reason being the anti-fat movement.

Evidently, the allegation that milk consumption leads to higher body fat is inaccurate. Even though milk does contain fat, reasonable milk consumption mitigates the concern for weight gain while low-fat and skim milk are also excellent alternatives that reduce fat consumption while still providing the great nutritional value of milk.

Some of this great nutritional value comes from milk’s high-quality protein, essential vitamins and minerals that have many biological functions that positively impact human health.
