Have you worn a milk moustache today? January 11th is milk day, the anniversary of milk being first delivered in glass bottles.
I grew up on a dairy farm. Milk was a part of every meal. I can still remember my dad skimming the cream off the milk for his cereal and the first time I stayed with my aunt who ‘bought’ her milk from the store, and thinking that it was so watery. Nothing at all, like what I was used to.
Even after 7000 years of drinking it, milk is still very controversial. Many say we need it for bone growth, but there are those who say we shouldn’t drink it, as it can increase our risk for certain diseases.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Milk Day:
Watch what you drink. Add more water and milk to your diet as opposed to pop and other sugary drinks. Studies show that kids and adults who drink milk are less likely to consume sugary drinks which add no nutritional value to their diet.
If you are having trouble sleeping, try a cup of warm milk. The chemicals in milk, along with the warmth of the drink, can help to produce that sleepy feeling.
So to honour my dad and brother, here is a little milk day humour…..
Q: What did the farmer call the cow that had no milk?
A: An udder failure.
