Family Living Focus – June is National Dairy Month
How many servings of dairy should I have daily? The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that all Americans over the age of nine should consume three cups/servings of milk or milk products each day (1 cup of milk, 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese equals one serving); two and a half cups per day are recommended for children aged four-eight years; and two cups per day for children aged two-three years. What are the health benefits of dairy foods? Enjoying three servings of dairy foods including milk, cheese or yogurt, is a deliciously easy way to help build stronger bones and healthier bodies because together, these foods provide a powerful package of nutrients.
