The REAL Benefits of Raw Milk

As a kid, I used to think that milk was only good for pouring over cereal. Who can forget those catchy "Got Milk?" ads? However, as I got older, I began to wonder if milk was truly essential for strong bones and if there were any nutritional benefits to drinking it.

That's when I decided to try out some plant-based alternatives. Let me tell you, I discovered some seriously yummy ice cream and cheese options! Although, I have to admit, they're not the most nutritious. 

Also, there's no plant-base option that beats putting a dollop of cream in your coffee or tea! My friend and I used to make it a holiday tradition to indulge in some creamy goodness. It was a delicious and fun “cheat day” that we enjoyed for years.  

I had convinced myself, that ALL dairy was 'bad for you', but then I discovered a local farm that offers raw milk products...and it's been a game-changer!

I've now tried fresh colostrum, kefir, cultured buttermilks, and raw milk, and my body is LOVING it!

And get this: raw milk can even help those with lactose intolerance! It naturally contains the enzyme lactase that helps your body process lactose, and some people have seen their digestive problems improve after switching to raw dairy.

Who knew that a little cream in your coffee could lead to such exciting discoveries?!

Raw milk has numerous health benefits that make it a great alternative to pasteurized milk. It contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes that aid in digestion and improve gut health. Raw milk also contains more nutrients than pasteurized milk, such as vitamins A, D, and K, as well as calcium and magnesium, which are essential for strong bones.

Additionally, raw milk has been shown to improve immune function and may reduce the risk of allergies and asthma. Overall, raw milk is a delicious and nutritious option for those looking to incorporate more whole foods into their diet.

Yet, here's the unfortunate truth... you can't buy raw dairy products at the grocery store. The only way to buy these products is connecting directly with local dairy farmers that are dedicated to keeping this timeless tradition alive. 

I get my raw dairy products from Helios Farms
