The Best Dairy Products to Eat

Dairy plays a crucial role in bone building due to its abundance in calcium and vitamin D. Certain dairy products can also boost gut health if they contain probiotics (live microorganisms that replenish healthy gut bacteria). Eating dairy can also help you reach your daily protein intake.

Here’s a list of quality dairy foods to buy: 

• Milk

• Cheese

• Plain yogurt (contains probiotics)

• Kefir (contains probiotics)

• Cottage Cheese

If you are lactose intolerant, consider minimizing your dairy intake (under 12 grams of dairy per day) instead of removing dairy completely.
