One of the best ways to get more calcium and strengthen your bones is through drinking skim milk. Many people have the misperception that dairy products should be completely eliminated when you’re trying to watch your weight or maintain a lower body fat percentage but this doesn’t have to be the case.
{Skim milk can help you learn to ‘idolize’ your new body too!}
Low fat varieties of diary products will also be lower in calories and can help to prevent fat gain in the first place. The most important thing is to choose wisely and if you opt for skim milk, a wise choice you will be making.
Let’s have a look at the nutritional information this beverage provides.

The other nutrients that you’ll find in skim milk include potassium, vitamin B12, as well as Riboflavin and Phosphorous.
Storing/Selecting

Never let skim milk stand too long outside of the fridge otherwise it may spoil.
