Are you getting enough iodine in your diet? 🤔 If you eat a balanced diet full of seafood, eggs, milk, and dairy products, you're probably fine. While iodine deficiency is rare in the U.S., it is still the leading preventable cause of intellectual disability. Iodine is an essential mineral with a crucial role in supporting thyroid function and maintaining overall health, and it's especially important for pregnant women. 🤰 In fact, pregnant and breastfeeding folks require significantly more iodine to support baby brain development.

The good news is, dairy products from chocolate milk to yogurt and beyond are an excellent source of iodine. Just one serving of yogurt provides a generous portion of your daily needs! 🥛🧠

Whether you're supporting your own health or that of a little one, if you want to be sure to get enough iodine, try incorporating more dairy products into your meals.

Happy belated #MothersDay to any soon-to-be mothers out there!! 🤰👶 Did you know that up to 75% of pregnant people may not be getting enough iodine? 😔 😱 This essential mineral plays a critical role in supporting a baby's brain development and maintaining thyroid function, but it's often overlooked in prenatal nutrition.

The good news is, U.S. dairy is an excellent source of iodine, with just one cup of milk providing almost half of your daily needs. 🥛 So if you're pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to include plenty of dairy products in your diet. Check out our website for more information on iodine and dairy. 👀 #MilkMeansMore #Iodine #PregnancyNutrition #expecting

Know a kid who could use some protein bites, so they don't forget to eat & refuel after all that exercise? Don't let them forget a glass of milk to hydrate & replenish nutrients, either!
