Milk: The New Energy Drink

All my life milk has been the least favorite beverage for me. My parents stubbornly insisted that I drink my milk. I never knew why. For me, it was repulsive and tasted like the tears of dead animals if they did cry. Years passed, and I grew up to be a healthy young man, I look back wondering if it was because all of that milk I was forced to drink.

Turns out that milk has amazing benefits to the body. Who knew? Finally, I found some reasons for why my parents would never allow me to sleep before drinking my milk. For my fellow friends, I sat down with my doctor and pulled out of him some of the benefits and “justifications” to drink milk. This is what he had to say.
