World Milk Day 2025: How Milk Is Your Ultimate Ayurvedic Superfood
Remember the ‘Doodh’ Advertisement that came in the 90s and is still ruling our minds? It was a simple advertisement, but it hit the bull's eye: Drink milk and stay healthy. World Milk Day, celebrated on June 1, focuses on raising awareness of this white goodness.
The theme for 2025 is ‘Let’s Celebrate the Power of Dairy’. While the theme focuses on the dairy industry’s role in development from a healthy community to strong economies, we mention how dairy keeps society healthy with Ayurveda. Patanjali also provides dairy products for this purpose.
Ayurveda on Milk
According to Ayurveda, milk is one of the important nourishing foods for good health. It is known to build, strengthen, and fortify the body. Drinking milk in the morning and evening is considered beneficial in Ayurveda to promote Ojas, or proper digestion.
Ayurveda considers cow's milk most beneficial since it is easily digestible, stabilising the three doshas and a tissue strengthener. Buffalo milk has the best nourishing factor and manages Vata Dosha. Light goat milk can manage Kapha Dosha disparities. Avoid drinking milk during and after meals and at night since it can cause digestive issues and mucus troubles.
Patanjali has worked on the Ayurveda fundamentals to bring good milk or dairy products. For example, Patanjali Cow's Whole Milk Powder (200 Gms and 500 Gms) contains all the milk goodness in dry form. It is good for good eyesight and even for diabetics. Or choose Patanjali Cow's Skimmed Milk Powder (200 Gms and 500 Gms). It works great for those preferring health-conscious options, but with the same benefits. Opt for Patanjali Cow's Ghee (200 Ml, 500 Ml, 1 Ltr and 5 Ltr). Its benefits include digestion help, dosha balance and immunity booster.
How Milk Benefits Societal Health
Bone Health: The calcium and Vitamin D in milk help in bone health and density. It also helps in keeping bone diseases like osteoporosis away in the long run. The goodness is passed to your teeth too, which depend on milk for their calcium intake to remain strong.
Digestion Help: Good digestion of food starts with digestive health. You can include a good amount of milk in your regular food, like dairy products. They contain probiotics for digestion, converting food into energy and aiding absorption.
Helps Relax: A good quality milk aids in relaxing and providing a good night's sleep. It contains the amino acids that activate sleep and happy hormones. You also feel full, which helps avoid hunger when you go to sleep.
Energy and Hydration: The lactose and protein in milk are natural sugars that help boost energy and keep you satisfied. Milk also contains calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium. It rehydrates you after sweating.
Overall Health: Adult intake of low-fat or fat-free milk aids in reducing the chances of suffering from cardiovascular issues, Type 1 Diabetes, etc. The nutrients in milk provide proteins and help keep hair and skin healthy and glowing.
This World Milk Day on June 1, bring the Ayurvedic power of milk into your life with Patanjali products.
