Washington D.C. [USA] Feb 5,2020: A recent study found that kids who drank full-fat milk were less likely to be obese than those who drank the low-fat kind.
As told by CNN, full-fat milk also provides the energy requirements necessary for young lads as well as the taste.
The new age parents talk about diet, health and put their young one’s health as their primary concern. Although there may have been an upsurge in milk alternatives and veganism, experts say when it comes to kids, cow’s milk is a must-have and always in its fattiest form.
The three primary sources of energy for the young ones are dairy, protein and carbohydrates.
“And, milk is a good source of calcium, iodine, vitamins A and B12, and fat — it’s the fat that helps children meet their energy requirements”, said Lucy Upton, a specialist pediatric dietician and spokesperson for the Association of UK Dieticians.
Kids particularly need more energy per pound (or kilo) than adults. “The average two-year-old needs 80 calories per kilogram of weight,” she said, highlighting that adults need less than half that amount. Experts also say that one shouldn’t stop consuming dairy unless intolerance or allergy is a genuine issue.
