A balanced diet is essential for human
beings to live a healthy life. Besides air and water, food is a necessary
ingredient for us humans. Our body needs a proper intake of nutrients like
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. These
together ensure a proper balance in our body.
Milk is one of the most important
supplements in our diet that ensures proper balance in the human body. The nutrients in milk assure strength and activeness in our body. As per the studies
conducted over the years, any normal adult would need about 2-5 glasses of milk
on a daily basis to carry out the bodily functions smoothly.
Coming to the benefits of milk, it is the number one source of calcium.
Calcium is necessary to keep our bones strong and healthy. The individuals
irrespective of age group, who consume about 400-500 milligrams of milk every day,
are mostly free from all bone illnesses and disorders. The habit of proper milk
consumption must be taught to the kids right from their childhood. Infants as
well as small children must be fed milk at regular intervals to ensure proper
physical growth. As a whole, there are a number of benefits of the white liquid
that make it one of the most essential commodities on a global scale.
Is country fresh milk different from regular milk? Yes! The
international milk producing market or the Indian market is largely dominated
by processed or adulterated milk. This milk is treated via additives like urea,
detergents, glucose, starch and formalin. To put it straight, this does nothing
but deteriorate the quality of the cow’s milk. Processed milk is also low in
nutrients when compared
to raw cow milk. If we go by statistics, it is very rare to find pure milk in
the urban cities of India. So, what option does that leave us other than
consumption of low quality processed milk?
To the
relief of many, there are companies like Pride of Cows, that are taking up
initiatives to deliver the fresh farm milk to every household. Milk delivered by
such companies is not treated with any form of additives. They give due
importance to the health of the cows and feed them with natural grass and
fodder that is free from pesticides and chemicals. Of course, there may be a
scenario when a cow might fall sick. In that case, the companies treat them
with the necessary antibiotics but such cows are kept away from milk production
during the span of treatment. Also post the treatment these cows are kept away
from the herd unless the entire effect of the antibiotics is nullified from
their body. So, cow milk stays pure, healthy and fresh!
