Should you drink milk?
Milk for Strong Bones?
Uriia Underhill, B.Sc.
I have always suffered from lactose intolerance. I have
followed a Paleo type lifestyle for about two years now, as well as done
research on the affects of milk on the body. Here are some interesting facts
I’ve found.
Research has shown that Vitamin D has shown to have more
help in lowering the risk of osteoporosis. The research points out that the countries that
lack milk consumption such as Asia and Africa have the lowest rate of the
disease.
Calcium but not from dairy products has the affects to
prevent colon cancer, meaning we should only receive our vitamin d and calcium
from a plant based fruit or vegetable form (Dr. Hyman, 2012).
A study shows that actually 75 percent of people are unable
to break down lactose, a sugar found in high contents within milk. Most mammals develop lactose intolerance
after the weaning process (Mayo Clinic, 2012).

Physical Fitness Matters
Some say that happiness is just a work out away and unsurprisingly there are some interesting facts that support the statement.
Exercise and Physical activity can help you lose weight, or maintain and even
build muscle mass. When you engage in an exercise you burn calories, the harder
the workout the more calories are burned. You can also burn calories by
engaging in household duties. These are little things that easily get replaced
by watching television or mindlessly searching the web.
Little things like
taking the stairs, sweeping the floors, or even dancing to music with the
children can help add minutes of activity to your day. Exercise and physical
activity has been shown to stimulate chemicals within the brain to actually
make you feel happier and more content (MayoClinic, 2012).
Not to mention the
benefits of when you look better, you feel better, which raises
self-confidence.
Exercise and physical
activity helps decrease body fat, help with heart disease, lowers blood
pressure, and activates high-density lipoprotein and lowers cholesterol. Feeling tired and run down? Well guess what?
More physical activity, more energy! Exercise is proven to boost muscular
strength and endurance, deliver more nutrients and oxygen to your tissues
(MayoClinic, 2012). Exercise also helps your
lungs are heart work more efficiently.
