Milk contains a combination of muscle building proteins- whey protein & casein protein. Whey Protein is the fast absorbing protein that your muscles use for repair and growth after your workout. That’s why the best protein supplements contain highest amounts of whey protein. Milk with whey protein supplement makes a great preworkout snack and post workout snack.

Casein protein is slow absorbing protein. So, a glass of milk before you sleep supplies your muscles with protein all through the night, for repair and growth activity.

Studies also show that people who drank milk were 10 to 15 percent less likely to have heart disease and 20% less likely to suffer heart attack.

For those people that are lactose intolerant, yogurt benefits you just like milk does. If yoghurt doesn’t work, you can try soy milk. Note that over consumption of soy has side effects on your hormones.
