MILK CONSUMPTION AND THE BRAIN

Milk

A study published by Choi et al in Amierican Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2015 showed that intake of dairy products is associated with increased glutathione levels in the brain. Glutathione is a ketone. And ketones are known for regeneration of the neurons in the brain. Glutathione is particularly known for fighting Reactive Oxidative Stress (ROS) in the brain. ROS destroys the neurons and causes diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsonism, dementia and so on.

Moreover, milk provides certain essential amino acids, which support the regeneration of of neurons and production of neurotransmitters for the transmission of impulses in the brain.

Milk, undoubtedly, is a source of power, protection, and life to the brain. All these culminate in optimum IQ and brain health.
