What's the deal with the fats in cheese? 🤔🧀 Should we be cautious?

"Sometimes saturated fats in cheese give it a bad reputation. While saturated fats are linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, it’s important to remember that not all saturated fats are alike. Current research indicates that saturated fats from dairy foods may not affect the cardiovascular system the same way as others. Those in cheese may help prevent strokes and protect against heart disease.

Ongoing studies also suggest that a polyunsaturated fat in cheese called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) along with calcium may lower the risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. These nutrients help normalize blood sugar levels, ease inflammation and improve immune function. We still don’t know a lot about CLA. However, studies show it’s better to eat foods containing CLA than to take supplements."

What are dairy cows up to most of the time? 🐄

Just big chillin', honestly~ 🤷 😪 That includes lots of napping, and lots of snacking.

Producing milk might be her "job," but milking is just a small portion of a cow's day.

Dairy farmers are adopting new technologies and changes every day to pave the way forward to a future where life on Earth comes first. 🌎 🐄 By 2050, goals set by the dairy community aim to: achieve greenhouse gas neutrality, optimize water usage, and improve water quality by optimizing utilization of manure and nutrients.

If you're a little lacking in the "able to digest lactose" department, Ken, the good news is that anywhere with lactose-free milk you'd be a 10. 🎵 🤷

Lactose-free milk and other dairy products have lactase enzymes already added to them (or have the lactose filtered out) before you pick them up. Lactase can break down the lactose for you, so you don't have to worry about it! 💃

Anyways, you ever think about death? 😅

We all know electrolytes are important, but why, exactly, is that the case? 🤔

Since electrolytes are essential components that help our bodies maintain fluid balance and regulate nerve and muscle activity, losing electrolytes through sweat without replenishing them can lead to: dehydration, fatigue, muscle cramping and spasms, headaches, dizziness, and more. 😵💧

Luckily, in addition to being the ideal post-workout recovery drink due to its carb-to-protein ratio, chocolate milk also contains essential electrolytes that every active body needs to stay hydrated and perform at its best. 💪 🍫 🥛

Milk is a powerful drink to cool you and your family down in the summer, providing the carbs, electrolytes, and more that a body of any size needs to get and stay hydrated. ☀️ 💧

Did you know that milk actually hydrates better than water? 😳 It's true -- thanks to those nutritional components that help keep our cells and our bodies properly balanced with fluids and running smoothly! 💪 🥛 #stayhydrated #hydrate

#ICYMI Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a dairy cow is like? 🐄 Spoiler alert! They rest and eat the majority of the day. How great does that sound?

The other few hours are spent socializing with other cows, walking to and from the milking parlor, and receiving quality care from dairy farmers.

Comfy cows = happy farmers! 🐄 ❤️ 🤗

Dairy farmers are constantly taking on new tech projects (like installing these cow brushes!) to improve cow well-being. Other tools and tech many Michigan dairy farmers are embracing include robotic milking systems, cow monitoring devices to track each cow's activity and health, and innovative dry bedding like sand or recycled fiber from waste.

Check your milk gallon for a 26 at the beginning of its 5-digit code, which lets you know it came from a Michigan farm! ✋ 🚜 🌾 🐄 Then check out the recipe at our link: https://www.milkmeansmore.org/recipe/summer-vegetable-gratin/
