‘Milk has important role in healthy diet and can help with weight loss’

MILK plays an active role in a healthy diet and a balanced metabolism, effectively helping people lose weight by boosting their energy levels, according to dietitian and TV presenter Paula Mee.

People who are “watching their weight” could benefit hugely by drinking milk, the TV personality told people attending a recent free “Health and Wellbeing” evening in Kilkenny, sponsored by Glanbia and the National Dairy Council.

Scientific evidence suggests that dairy intake would boost the energy levels of people on weight loss diets. Other research shows that consumption of calcium, particularly calcium from dairy products, may play a role in weight management.
