Milk and your skin?!

Milk and your skin?

What does skim mlik (or other milk...2 percent, whole etc) do for your skin? Are there any extra benefits?

Drinking milk definitely benefits the skin. The high quality protein contained in milk along with the enzymes benefits the cell renew and building processes. Milk protein is easy to digest, especially in adults who do not have an allergy to lactose, the milk sugar. The fat in milk carries the antioxydent fat-soluable vitamins A and D in suspension, both of which are beneficial to the skin and aids in protecting the skin against both free radicals and sun exposure. (Skim milk is deficient in both vitamins A and D because they are fat soluable and are needed for assimilation in the body, so milk containing some fat needs to be consumed to get the benefit of those vitamins, plus the vitamin D is needed for the absorption of the calcium in the milk. Besides aiding vision and protecting bone density, Calcium and related minerals such as magnesium and potassium are all beneficial to the skin health and maintaining youthful cells. Milk is a high source of the water-soluable B vitamins. Thiamin and riboflavin guards against and heals skin leisions and eruptions. also aids in the protection against ultraviolet and skin cancer. There are many other benefits, including a decrease in the amount of cellulite( fatty deposits under the skin.) That there is not room or time to discuss here.
