Hydration that Lasts Longer
Did you know that milk is actually made up of 85% water? Yep! The nutrients involved—like protein, electrolytes, and fat—work together to hydrate your body. And, more than that, it keeps you hydrated for longer. Just a few sips and you can run another mile, swim another lap, or shoot your shot.
Fuel Your Winning Spirit
Athletes of all ages follow a balanced diet to stay at the peak of their performance. While dairy offers key nutrients in building strong bones and muscle mass, you need more food to train hard. By knowing how much of each food group to incorporate into your meals, you’ll have more fun meal prepping and be more successful in making healthier choices.
The Whey to Victory
For athletes, an essential part of preparing for the big games is recovering properly. There are two types of proteins in dairy that help with this: whey and casein. Both support post-exercise recovery, but the human body absorbs whey quicker. So remember to eat foods like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and milk after a hard workout!
