Cow’s milk is believed to be as good as a complete meal in itself. Loaded with all the essential vitamins and minerals needed to keep your body fit and healthy, milk is the ultimate food. However, it is very difficult to find fresh cow milk in large cities as most of the milk is packaged and comes in portable tetra packs that are designed to last for days.

If you want to derive the best benefits of milk, you should get the best cow milk for your family. This is possible only if you source a trustworthy local vendor who can provide you milk that is free of adulteration. Milk these days comes from dairy farms where cows are reared and bred for milking purposes. However, these cows are bred in a manner that allows them to deliver more milk than an ordinary cow. This often causes several abnormalities in the animals, which leads to the milk being of a lower standard than the usual.

The best way to derive the best benefits of milk is to consume it in the purest and most adulteration free form. In other words, farm milk is the best milk for you and your family. Farm milk comes from cows that graze on fresh green grass, which ensures that the milk is loaded with all the nutrition and goodness that you are looking for.

Here are some ways in which you can get the best out of farm fresh milk:

  • Do not overheat milk. Overheating or boiling for longer periods can result in destruction of the useful elements in the milk
  • Do not add sugar to your milk. Sugar destroys the calcium in the milk and hence can strip your milk of its nutritional value. If you have to sweeten your milk, use honey or brown sugar instead.
  •  The ideal amount of milk that is recommended as per dietary guidelines is 3 cups a day. However, you can have a glass of milk in the morning and one in the evening and supplement it with other dairy products such as cheese, curd etc. during the day.
  • Add almonds to your glass of milk to add to the benefits of milk
  • You can also add carrots to your milk to add to the iron content and help your body stay healthy and fit.
  • Sip your milk, instead of downing it in one gulp.
