Boost your brain with milk: findings of the latest study

A recent study on 900 adults published in the International Dairy Journal have looked at the relation between dairy food intake and cognitive function. Their results showed that adults with higher intakes of milk and milk products had a higher score on memory and other brain function tests than those who drank little or no milk. These results made the authors state that " drinking just one glass of milk a day could boost your brain power". However, the mechanism is not clear as the study did not show direct cause and effect.


What we know is that drinking milk was always highly encouraged for bone health. It's high in different nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, protein, and it's a good addition addition to our daily diet esp if we choose the low fat or skimmed milk. To be able to add the benefits of increased brain health, other types of study designs showing the mechanism are required.
