World Milk Day celebration
Staying with sustained energy, and as part of their World Milk Day celebrations on 1 June, the CEP published a media release which highlighted how to fuel yourself longer with dairy. The media release explains that milk, yoghurt, maas and cheese naturally provide the nutrients that help keep energy levels stable and that the high-quality protein in dairy, which is so important to building and repairing your body, also slows digestion and helps you feel full. The carbohydrates in dairy have a low Glycaemic index (GI) while dairy’s unique spectrum of vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and calcium support energy metabolism. This means that dairy foods help slow down the release of energy into your bloodstream and keeps it steady for longer.
