The Amazing Benefits of Milk
Head-to-toe moisturizer
Milk as moisturizer can do wonders for your skin. This is attributed to the vitamins A and D plus lactic acid which softens dry skin. Drizzle 1/2 cup of honey into running water and add 2 cups of warm whole milk as you fill the tub.
Inexpensive eye gel
The most popular practice for getting rid of eyebags and undereye cirlcles is by putting cucumbers on top of the eyelids. An alternative remedy could be by dipping cotton balls in cold whole milk, wring them out and apply them to eyelids. The swelling can be greatly reduced by the fat in milk which rehydrates parched skin.
Fight PMS
Studies from the University of Massachusetts show that women who get more calcium and vitamin D by drinking either skim or low-fat milk have lesser chances of exhibiting PMS during their monthly building.
Fertility Booster
Adding whole milk to a diet can greatly boost ovulation. In a Harvard study, women who ate more than one daily serving of high-fat dairy were 25% less likely to suffer ovulation problems than those who ate one or fewer servings a week.
