It’s important to pay attention to what you put in your body. Food and beverages are our main sources of nutrition, and a healthy diet is one of our main sources of happiness. Luckily, Anderson Erickson Dairy products offer plenty of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Including dairy in your diet can be a great way to treat your body to many essential nutrients, such as calcium, potassium and Vitamin D. These nutrients are often under-consumed, and along with dietary fiber, make up the nutrients of public health concern. But milk is the #1 dietary source for these nutrients, making it an easy and delicious way to keep your body healthy.
AE Dairy is proud to promote nutritional wellness through our products, whether you’re receiving Vitamin C from our orange juice or Vitamin D from a glass of whole milk. We use the highest-quality dairy and ingredients while avoiding artificial coloring and high fructose corn syrup. We also offer low-fat, fat-free and no added sugar varieties of our products. With more choices in delicious flavors, AE is naturally nourishing.
High quantities of protein are another reason AE dairy makes an excellent addition to your diet. Just one cup of whole dairy milk offers 8 grams of protein, which provides energy and muscle mass. Protein also comes with 9 essential amino acids, in the right proportions compared to plant-based sources. For a truly lean option, low-fat and fat-free dairy supports a healthy heart.
And don’t forget about the probiotics found in AE yogurt and Nourish lactose-free milk. These beneficial bacteria help our body’s natural gut biomes stay in balance and promote a healthy digestive system. Two of the most important species, Acidophilus and Bifidum, help us absorb the nutrients in food. They also assist with the internal development of B vitamins, amino acids and lactase.
Did you know that milk hydrates better than water? A 2015 study demonstrated that the powerful combination of electrolytes, carbs and protein help you stay hydrated by slowing the rate fluids leave your body. Even milk’s natural sugar, lactose, assists with this valuable process. When you’re well hydrated, your body enjoys multiple benefits, like:
