IN a world filled with ever-changing dietary trends and food choices, one nutritional powerhouse continues to stand the test of time — milk.

World School Milk Day, celebrated September 27, is essential to delve into why milk matters and remains an indispensable part of our diets and lives.

Below Serge Island shares the benefits of milk consumption:

1. A nutritional powerhouse

Calcium, one of milk’s primary components, plays a pivotal role in maintaining bone health. Serge milk, enriched with the expertise and care of a trusted dairy producer, ensures that you receive the highest quality calcium for building strong bones and teeth. From the moment we are born until well into adulthood, our bodies rely on calcium to form and strengthen bones and teeth. The consumption of milk is especially crucial during the growth phases of childhood and adolescence, which is why milk is often associated with building strong bones.
