• 5 Benefits of Dairy Foods For Kids

• Raising kids is a tough job! They need
  special attention and care. Sometimes as a
  parent, we are unable to give them the time they
  deserve but we can always make sure that their
  nutritional requirements are met properly. Dairy
  products, such as milk, egg, cheese, and yogurt
  are a rich source of protein, vitamins and
  minerals that are essential for kids growth.
  Having said that, there are times when parents
  are too busy doing their work that they either
  forget or dont get time to buy dairy for their
  kids. Thankfully, after the advent of online
  supermarket shopping, parents can get dairy
  products online delivery at their doorstep.
  Continuing on the subject, in this blog post, we
  list five health benefits of dairy products for
  kids.

3
Stronger Bones

• Dairy products, such as milk, butter and
  eggs contain several essential nutrients,
  including calcium, phosphorus and Vitamin D that
  increase bone mass and density. These nutrients
  are fundamental for healthy growth of kids during
  their formative years. Dairy products also
  protect bones by reducing the risk of
  osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to
  become brittle. If you are out of butter, eggs or
  any other dairy products and dont have time to
  go out to shop, you can now easily buy them
  online and get the items delivered to your
  doorstep.

4
Stronger Teeth

• Dairy products make teeth stronger while
  protecting the tooth enamel. They also strengthen
  kids jawbones, which helps in fighting tooth
  decay in the later stage of life. Nutrients, such
  as Casein, phosphorus, Vitamin C and K found in
  milk, eggs, cheese and other dairy products, help
  against tooth decay and other gum diseases.
  Having said that, when buying eggs online or any
  other dairy product, only choose organic products
  for the best results.

5
Prevents Dehydration

• Children are more likely to suffer from
  heat illnesses and dehydration because they have
  more body surface area per kilogram of weight.
  Dairy products like milk have a high electrolyte
  (potassium, sodium) and carb content. Milk can
  also often work as a substitute to oral
  rehydration solution, when it comes to
  maintaining fluid balance. When ordering milk
  online, ensure that you order it from a trusted
  source.

6
Reduces Obesity

• India is at second position in terms of
  childhood obesity, with more than 14 million kids
  suffering from it. The more alarming news is that
  the 35-40 per cent rise in the obesity numbers of
  kids belong to upper-income families. There are
  many independent studies that show that dairy
  products, if consumed the right way, can reduce
  body fat and increase lean body mass. For
  instance, probiotic drinks and yogurt have proven
  to be useful in controlling weight gain by
  increasing the amount of good bacteria in the
  gut, thereby improving the digestion of the food.
  Moreover, as per a paper published in the
  European Journal of Nutrition, people who
  consumed cheese on a regular basis had 14 lower
  risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Treat for your kids

• In addition to its nutritional value,
  dairy products can also be used as treats for
  kids. Desserts made at home using dairy, for
  example ice creams, gelatos, and frozen yogurt,
  not only taste amazing but also have their own
  health benefits as compared to store bought
  products. If you dont have time to prepare
  desserts at home, you can easily order ice-creams
  and other desserts online, however, ensure that
  you order them from a reliable source.

• Given multiple health benefits of dairy,
  you might want to consider including dairy
  products in your kids diet. Not only does dairy
  strengthen bones and teeth but it also prevents
  dehydration in both kids as well as adults. If
  you dont have time to go out shopping for dairy
  products everyday, you can easily buy them
  online. Having said that, ensure that you buy
  these products from a reputable store that offers
  dairy products online delivery. When doing online
  supermarket shopping, you need a one-stop shop
  where you can buy everything including butter,
  eggs, ice cream, and milk online.
