Milk at breakfast may help lower blood glucose.
A study revealed that drinking a glass of milk with breakfast can help reduce blood glucose levels for the rest of the day.
Researchers found that consuming milk with staple breakfast cereals such as cornflakes leads to a reduction in postprandial blood glucose levels.
The results demonstrated that having breakfast with milk—particularly when the meal is rich in protein, such as eggs—helps maintain lower blood glucose concentrations for several hours after eating.
Casein, the principal protein found in milk, possesses high biological value and is rich in essential amino acids, particularly those that contribute to muscle strength.
A single glass of milk provides most of the calcium required by the body throughout the day. It is also a good source of protein and vitamin D, a nutrient whose deficiency is increasingly common among children and the elderly.
