      Nutritive Value of Milk

      The story of milk goes back to the beginning of civilization itself. Even in prehistoric times cattle were domesticated for milk, ploughing and other such purposes but at the same time were considered sacred and even worshipped in India. Milk is an ideal food having a very high nutritive value and is also one of the most essential of all foods. It is one of the most complete single foods available in nature for health and promotion of growth. Milk is often regarded as being nature's most complete food. It is one of the most crucial parts of our diet as it provides many of the nutrients which are essential for the growth of the human body. Being an excellent source of body building proteins, vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium milk has gained special importance in our diet at different stages of life.

This bacterium is present naturally in the digestive tract and has a cleansing and healing effect. Hence, the introduction of fermented products to our diet can help prevent certain yeasts and bacteria which may cause illness. Many people suffer from a condition known as 'lactose intolerance' which means that they are unable to digest the milk
