Milk for your health!

Milk for your health!

Rural Support Service

A glass of milk every day? Exactly, because milk is very important part of the daily nutrition. It contains phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, as well as proteins. In addition, milk contains many vitamins and nutrients that help you to grow stronger.

Calcium is important for our bones and teeth – it provides everything necessary to maintain the strength of teeth. Healthy teeth are very important! Teeth ensure that we can bite and grind food. Next, the body converts food into energy. Therefore, it is important to use milk and its products in your diet every day!

In pre-school educational institutions and elementary schools, children can drink milk three times a week for free. This is provided by the programme “School Milk and Fruits”.

Program "Milk and fruits for school" is financed by both the European Union and the Latvian state.
