Why Does Milk Matter NOW for Children and Teens?
Good nutrition is important for good health and can help protect against many diseases later in life. However, one important nutrient many kids and teens don’t get enough of is calcium, found mainly in milk and dairy products and in dark green, leafy vegetables and foods with added calcium. Calcium is a nutrient that helps to make bones and teeth strong and healthy. It is used in building bone mass and also helps to reduce the risk of bone fracture due to osteoporosis, a condition where bones become fragile and can break easily.
