Weight Loss without Worry

     Not too long ago the USDA increased the daily recommendation for dairy products (in the low-fat or non-fat variety) from two servings per day to three.  A serving is…

• 8 ounces of milk or yogurt
• 1 and 1/2 ounces of cheese

     Why the increase?  Because dairy foods have a lot of benefits. 

• a good source of calcium
• provide potassium, phosphorus, and vitamin D
• help reduce the risk of osteoporosis
• help control blood pressure
• keep you bones strong

     I start almost every day with a bowl of Bran Buds with yogurt.  Yum.
