World Milk Day is celebrated all around the globe on June 1 every year to acknowledge the immense importance of milk as a global food. It was established by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation back in 2001. The need for the establishment of International Milk Day arose from the fact that there was very little awareness about the benefits of drinking milk amongst the general public. It is a rich source of several essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, and fats. So, in the spirit of World Milk Day, let’s talk about the importance and benefits of milk.
Importance of Milk
There are several benefits of drinking milk every day since childhood like improved eyesight. Milk is essential to provide the body with proteins for growth and repair, magnesium for muscles, phosphorus for energy, calcium for teeth and bones, potassium for nerve function, and carbohydrates for vitality. Many children in India stop growing at a certain age, way before they have reached their peak. One of the major reasons for this is the lack of protein, which can easily be rectified by drinking milk every day. To address this critical problem, HealthKart has come up with Gritzo Supermilk – a protein drink range for kids, to provide your children with the nutrition they need for proper growth and development.
How Does Gritzo Supermilk Help Your Kids?
For your kids, there are multiple benefits of drinking milk every day. Gritzo Super Milk is scientifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of kids from all age groups. So, the following are some of the major benefits of adding a glass of Gritzo Super Milk to your kid’s daily diet.
- Packed with Whey Protein
Derived from milk, whey is the richest vegetarian source of protein. Being very easy to digest, it provides your kid’s body with all the essential and non-essential amino acids. Since an average Indian diet is typically packed with carbohydrates and low in proteins, Gritzo Super Milk by HealthKart provides children with a necessary dose of protein. As protein is the muscles’ building block and plays a key role in the body’s growth, it helps your child’s body repair, regulate, and protect itself. Also, protein helps in promoting the health of your skin, hair, and nails and regulating water balance, muscle contractions, oxygen, and nutrient transport.
- Goodness of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium in the body. And calcium is highly beneficial in building and strengthening bones. While the human body can easily synthesise vitamin D3 when in the presence of sunlight, not all kids spend much time outdoors, which can cause a deficiency of vitamin D. Since not many food sources have enough vitamin D content that your kid needs on a daily basis, HealthKart has loaded the entire range of Gritzo Supermilk with vitamin D in the form of vitamin D3, which ensures three times better absorption of calcium by the body than vitamin D2.
- Loaded with Calcium
Milk has always been a rich source of calcium for growing kids. It is essential for the growth and strength of their bones and teeth. Gritzo Super Milk contains a healthy dose of calcium. As a bonus, it is also infused with calcium citrate malate (CCM), which is a readily bioavailable form of calcium and helps in amplifying its power. Also, it is very easily digestible even on an empty stomach.
- Full of Vital Vitamins and Minerals
One of the major benefits of Gritzo Supermilk is that it is packed with the power of numerous essential vitamins and minerals, all of which are quite beneficial for your kid’s well-being. Some of the major ones include:
- Vitamin A: It promotes eye health
- B Vitamins: These help in fatigue reduction and boosting energy levels
- Vitamin C: It boosts immunity
- Iron: It aids in regulating the supply of oxygen
- Potassium: It supports the nervous system and aids in maintaining fluid balance
- Phosphorus: It boosts bone strength
Conclusion
In addition to the above-mentioned benefits of drinking milk, it provides your kids with even more nutritional value and improves their overall well-being. So, on this World Milk Day, make sure your child is getting at least one glass of the nutritious and delicious Gritzo Supermilk every day.
