Milk does blood pressure good

If you don't do dairy, then I doubt what I'm about to mention will make you any more inclined to go buy a gallon of milk. However, if you haven't banished dairy from your diet, but simply aren't consuming much of it, then what I'm about to tell you may have you reaching for a glass of milk tonight with your dinner.
A recent study at Harvard University reveals that women who consume little or no lowfat dairy products daily are 11 percent more likely to develop high pressure than women who ate at least two servings a day. While an easy solution may be to pop a few calcium and vitamin D supplements and call it a day, you unfortunately miss out on the protein and magnesium found in dairy products, both of which may also play a role.
If donning a milk mustache really isn't your thing, you can always get your two daily servings from yogurt, cottage cheese, and other lowfat dairy products.
