DFA touts dairy’s nutritional benefits

Dairy Farmers of America

It’s National Nutrition Month and we all know that dairy products are a powerhouse of calcium and protein — but did you know it’s a great way to get selenium for a strong immune system and potassium for healthy blood pressure?

Selenium — Acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells and support a strong immune system

Iodine — Essential for thyroid health, which regulates hormones that support cognitive function, memory and focus

Potassium — Helps maintain fluid balance and supports proper muscle contractions, making it key for muscle function and recovery

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) — Plays a role in cell growth and repair, promoting healthy skin and keeping cells functioning properly

Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) — Helps break down carbs, fats and proteins into usable energy, keeping your body fueled and active

Vitamin B12 — Supports nerve function by maintaining the protective covering around nerves, ensuring a healthy nervous system

These are just a handful of the unsung nutrient heroes that you get from every sip, scoop, shred and spread of dairy. Things taste just a little bit better when you know they’re keeping you strong and healthy.
