Drink Milk and Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
As a young child I've been taught that milk is a complete food because it contains most of the nutrients necessary for good health. Most especially, milk is the best natural source of vitamin D and Calcium - the key nutrients for bone health.

Now, the combination of Vitamin D and Calcium has been found to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes - giving us (even adults) additional reason to drink milk.

According to this article: the recommended three servings of low-fat or fat-free milk provides 900 mg of calcium, 300 IU of vitamin D and 80 mg of magnesium daily.

Magnesium in there caught my eye - because increased magnesium in the diet has recently been linked to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes as well.

Well, I guess we should all start drinking milk - especially if like me, you've lost the habit somewhere in time - though we should remember to keep it fat-free. ;-)
