Milk requirements for Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating Plans
We recommend adding dairy to our meal plans to align with the nutrition guidelines we follow as well as to round out the plan's protein, calcium, and vitamin D.
Calcium helps keep our bones strong, build new bone, and helps prevent osteoporosis. Dairy products contain the highest concentration of calcium per serving. Milk is fortified with vitamin D and this crucial vitamin plays many roles in our health. Plus, dairy if full of healthy protein and potassium.
