A new study conducted by the researchers from several universities in the United States and Norway revealed that consuming one glass of toned milk daily could keep heart healthy by defending it against various grave conditions including stroke and other heart problems.

The research group discovered that adults who had at least one glass of low-fat milk or milk products daily have 37% lower chances of kidney malfunction related to heart disease, as compared to those who drank milk that wasn’t low-fat.

The study suggested that the protein present in milk, vitamin D, magnesium and calcium are the main contributors to milk’s potential heart health benefits.

The researchers came to the conclusion after evaluating the kidney function of over 5,000 people aged between 45 and 84. They examined albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) of the participants.

Too low ACR measure can show poor kidney function and an extremely high risk for cardiovascular disease.

The study findings confirmed that people who had more low-fat milk and milk products showed lower ACR levels or healthier kidney function.

In actual fact, low-fat milk and its products were the only food groups evaluated that on its own had major impact on the functioning of kidney.

The study also disclosed that an overall healthy diet, which contains low-fat milk and milk products, whole grains, fruits and vegetables also, had also linked with benefits like ACR lowering by 20 percent or healthier kidney function.

So, drink toned milk for a healthy heart!
