Adults who continue to drink milk could be benefiting their brain, study finds

01/30/12

The results of a new study published in the International Dairy Journal reveal that drinking a glass of milk every day could benefit an individual's brain.

Researchers discovered that adults with higher intakes of milk and milk-related products scored substantially higher on memory tests as well as other brain function tests as opposed to those who drank little to no milk.

"Researchers at the University of Maine put more than 900 men and women ages 23 to 98 through a series of brain tests – including visual-spatial, verbal and working memory tests – and tracked the milk consumption habits of the participants," stated a release from Weber Shandwick Worldwide.

Milk has well-established benefits for young children and their growing bones, which need the appropriate amount of calcium, but these new findings could provide greater incentive for individuals to continue drinking milk late in life. Health benefits like this can increase longevity, but health complications can still strike at any time, which is why young adults are encouraged to already have a life insurance policy in place just in case the unforeseen occurs.
