You would think we have our own cow at our house with all the milk that we go through. I believe we went through 4 gallons just last week, alone. We all know that milk is so important to us, but some may not realize the importance of it.
Since forearm fracture rates of children and adolescents have increased sharply in the United States in recent years, and as the weather and summer sports season heats up, the last thing anyone wants is a fracture or broken bone to put a cramp in their plans—we’re embarking on program to raise awareness of building strong bones. (Did you know that moms who drink milk are likely to have daughters who drink milk, and the availability of milk at meals and snacks was associated with meeting calcium recommendations and bone mineral status?)
I firmly believe that drinking the milk that I have, has helped me to never have a cavity. I am 33. Also, I have never had a broken bone. I really think that my daily routine of a large glass of milk has truly helped my health in so many ways!

one importance of drinking milk is that regular calcium intake, especially calcium from milk, had a favorable effect on girls’ bone mass and attainment of peak bone density, which are critical factors in determining risk of osteoporosis later in life.

I learned a lot but one thing I learned was that Forearm fracture rates of children and adolescents have increased sharply in the United States in recent years, and many researchers are worried that falling milk consumption and displacement of milk by carbonated drinks may be a factor.
I would be using it. I’m an older mom of a toddler who has been neglecting my skin and it shows.

From visiting the website I learned that “Regularly drinking milk during the growing years is associated with greater height, bone size and bone mineralization”. I think this is so important and that’s one of the main reasons I always encourage out children to always drink a lot of milk. They usually have it with their cereal as well as with their dinner. Thanks for the chance to enter.

Not drinking milk can lead to increase in fracture rates.
the government has stated that kids are not getting enough vitamin D, anything that will get milk into them is appreciated
When I was a kid I fractured my arm and it says that milk reduces the risk of bone fractures.

Milk and milk products are the major source of calcium in the diet and provide other important bone-building nutrients including vitamin D, protein, potassium and phosphorus. Many studies have examined milk’s effect on bone health in children and adolescents.
Girls who regularly drink milk have a much lower incidence of fractures and osteoporosis in their later years. Thank you!
I learned how important it is to model for your kids even in drinking milk. Children who see their parents drink milk in favor of some other beverage our more likely to pick milk themselves over all the other choices we unfortunately give our kids.
Kid who avoid milk are more likely to suffer from osteopenia (low bone mass).

Drinking milk helps prevent osteoporosis!
I just twittered the giveaway. My twitter ID is MissWendy2009!
I went to the bone site and read that milk and dairy intake is the deciding factor in bone health. The more you drink at a young age and throughout adult years the healthier you are overall and the stronger your bones are. I encourage my daughters to drink milk and 100 % juice, they rarely drink soda or cool aid! Id love to win this prize package because ive been wanting to include more fresh fruit smoothies in our diet but dont really know how to make them. the smoothie maker and recipe book would be really helpfull in that!

“Children (ages 3-13) who avoided milk were found to suffer from fractures more frequently than their milk-drinking peers. The majority of the milk avoiders had family members who did not drink milk.”
Drinking milk is good for bones and teeth due to the calcium content.

milk contributes to bone strength and size.
High dairy and high calcium intakes protect the skeleton and increase its strength.

Milk is usually fortified with vitamin D, which is a nutrient most people are deficient in.

Reason to drink milk:
A report released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reinforces that eating calcium-rich foods like milk during childhood years helps build strong bones and may prevent the risk of fractures and osteoporosis later in life.

Regularly drinking milk during the growing years is associated with greater height, bone size and bone mineralization, while research has linked skipping milk to reduced height and increased fracture rates. Wow, who knew?!
