Pleasant health care, the choice in the era of health flair is milk



As the trend of consumption of 'Healthy + Pleasure' that pursues both taste and pleasure spreads, interest in natural food without artificial additives is increasing. At the center of it is 'milk', which has been called a complete food for a long time. Milk is being re-examined as a true health drink as more consumers want to take care of taste and health together rather than simply reducing calories.

Milk contains its own taste and rich nutrition without any artificial sweeteners, pigments, or stabilizers. It is a natural food with a balance of major nutrients essential to the human body such as protein, calcium, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and about 90% is composed of moisture, which is effective in replenishing moisture in summer. In particular, sweating a lot in hot weather tends to lead to the loss of electrolytes in the body, and milk naturally contains major electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, which can serve more than quenching thirst.

With a recent heat wave warning issued in the western United States, the local weather agency recommended refraining from eating caffeine-containing drinks or alcohol, saying it can release water from the body faster. Instead, it is also noteworthy that 'milk' is recommended as a natural drink that can replenish moisture and electrolytes in the body at the same time.




Kang Jae-hun, professor of family medicine at Gangbuk Samsung Hospital, said "If the concentration of electrolytes such as sodium or potassium is too high or too low, the body's various physiological functions such as body temperature control, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction can be disrupted."Especially in summer, the electrolyte escapes quickly through sweat, so it is important to choose a drink that can properly replenish the electrolyte along with moisture." He then emphasized that "milk is an ideal natural food that can supply not only moisture but also the electrolytes and nutrients needed at once.".

The Milk Self-help Management Committee (Chairman Lee Seung-ho) said, "In times when the weather is hot and thirst is easy these days, it is necessary to choose a drink that considers both thirst and health. Milk is a 100% natural food with no additives, a real health drink that can replenish not only water supply but also balanced nutrition. "More and more consumers want to consume what is beneficial for their health instead of eating something 'less' for their health." This summer, a glass of milk that allows healthy hydration and nutrition management at the same time could be a smart choice representing the era of health flair.," he said.
