The USP of milk is that it is loaded with calcium and a variety of other nutrients. The high amount of calcium and vitamin D found in milk makes it an ideal food for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Moreover, since it has vitamin D and calcium together, it makes the absorption of calcium easier for the body.

#2. Acne

If you have had acne before your dermatologist would have probably told you to steer clear of dairy. Drinking milk everyday can lead to acne as milk can cause inflammation leading to breaking out of the skin. However, there are other alternatives if you still want a dairy fix, these include kefir and plain yogurt.
