MILK: A Food for Muscles

Milk is often a staple in our fridges. But other than pairing nicely with cereal, the occasional cookie or just a nice tall glass on its own, the real question is: Do we know why we are drinking it? Do we know when the best time to drink it is, especially to maximize its muscle gaining potential? Probably not.

Milk is packed with protein. It also has all the necessary vitamins needed to help repair our muscles after strenuous use and, therefore, enhance muscular growth and build strength. Here are some other things about milk that can assist in your health and fitness journey.
