HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH

1. Have an ice cream sundae party

Invite some friends over for a summer treat as you add some potassium, calcium, and yes, some sugar, to your diet.

2. Visit a local dairy farm

Find out where it all comes from. Go to a nearby dairy farm to learn how the process works from the start.

3. Drink milk to rehydrate

Studies show that milk is superior to water and sports drinks after a workout. Milk is rich in sodium and potassium — both of which help to retain fluids and cause your body to sweat less. In addition, milk contains protein to help your muscles recover quickly.
