Do you know that milk has been a primary food for humans throughout centuries, from ancient times to current civilizations? This simple but powerful beverage has been a staple for a long time and rightly deserves this pride.B. Thesis statement: Milk, a nutrient-rich drink linked with multiple health advantages, is an integral component of any healthy diet, can help the body maintain bone health, and may safeguard against chronic diseases. II. Body A. Background on milk 1. The use of milk as a beverage and in several foods can be traced back to approximately 8000 BCE after domesticating animals such as cows, goats, and sheep (Stock & Wells, 2023).2. Milk has a very high-quality protein, calcium, vitamins A, B12, and D, riboflavin, niacin, and minerals phosphorus and potassium, which are contained in it (Górska-Warsewicz et al., 2019).3. Milk and dairy product consumption worldwide features different types of dairy dishes that sometimes serve as symbols of their culture despite being somewhat modern, showing their dietary significance in their culture. B. Argument 1: Milk supports strong bones and prevents osteoporosis. 1. Milk is a vitamin-rich product with calcium, which is good for the skeletal system. Likewise, a cup of milk has approximately 300mg of calcium. This is nearly 30% of the recommended daily intake (Polzonetti et al., 2020).2. The systematic review of Voulgaridou et al. (2023) showed that as the total amount of calcium is increased from milk and dairy products, it tends to reduce the risk for osteoporosis and fractures if the adults are elderly.3. To add to milk's benefits, this beverage also possesses other minerals such as vitamin D and protein, further strengthening the bones. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption, and protein is the primary source of the building blocks for bone formation and construction (Geller et al., 2022). C. Argument 2: Milk also manages weight and lowers the risk of chronic diseases. 1. Due to its protein and calcium content, milk is a nutrient-rich food that can induce the feeling of being filled up and contented; hence it can help in weight control (Dougkas et al., 2019).2. A study by Fontecha (2019) established a link between the high consumption of these dairy products and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, probably resulting from dairy components' impact on glucose metabolism and lipid levels.3. Some elements of milk, such as bioactive peptides and conjugated linoleic acid, have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects that may play a role in the protective activities against chronic diseases (García-Burgos et al., 2020). III. Conclusion A. Restatement of the thesis: Milk is a healthy beverage that offers many benefits, such as protecting bone health and preventing osteoporosis while promoting weight management and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.B. Call to action: I urge you to feature milk in your daily diet as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Whether for beverage purposes, cooking, or dairy goods like yogurt and cheese, let us make milk a part of our daily lives.C. Final thought-provoking statement: The famous nutritionist Marion Nestle once said, "Milk is one of the most nutritious and versatile foods, and everybody should consume it." Therefore, we'll appreciate milk as we reap the product's many benefits in our lives. References Dougkas, A., Barr, S., Reddy, S., & Summerbell, C. D. (2019).
