“Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected”

This has been quoted by T. Colin Campbell, an American Biochemist who specialises in the effect of nutrition on long-term health.

Milk also contains essential vitamins like vitamin A, D, E and K. Vitamin A helps to improve vision; whereas Vitamin B helps to build red blood cells. Milk helps to convert food into energy because of the phosphorus present in it.
