🌍 Today, on World Milk Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the magic of milk and the joy it brings to our little ones' lives. 🌟 From creamy cheeses to ice cream treats, life’s most delightful indulgences are made from milk. While they feed the soul, many real dairy products also pack a nutritional punch! Dairy products like yogurt, cheese, and milk aren't just tasty treats — milk is a vital part of a balanced diet. 🌈 It provides adults and kids alike with essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and B vitamins, which support overall health and wellbeing.

🐄🥛 In honor of World Milk Day, let’s celebrate Michigan dairy farmers and their dedication to reducing their environmental impact while providing communities and families with high-quality, nutritious milk, ensuring that our kids get the best nutrition possible.

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

$A calcium-rich diet helps you and your family build and maintain strong bones and teeth, reduce the risk of fractures and osteoporosis, and support overall physical health. Yet a large percentage of the U.S. population isn't meeting daily recommendations for calcium intake. Luckily, there are many convenient and delicious sources of calcium available, including milk. By supporting Michigan dairy farmers, you're helping to ensure that everyone has access to the essential nutrients they need to sustain strong, healthy bones and joyful lives. #MilkMeansMore #CalciumForAll 🥛👍$

Did you know that the atmospheric life span of methane is just 12 years, compared to 300 - 1,000 years for carbon dioxide? While methane is very potent, its short life cycle means we can face it head-on, now, by reducing methane emissions to net zero by 2050.
