 Milk is very important for a healthy lifestyle, as studies show that people who drink milk avoid significant fat gain. In milk there is calcium for healthy bones, phosphorous, magnesium, protein, vitamin B12, vitamin A, zinc, riboflavin, folate, vitamin C, and most importantly, vitamin D.

Buy organic milk. Studies have shown that organic milk is much healthier than regular milk. Some benefits of organic milk is the fact that organic milk is from cows that haven't been given growth hormones, it is wholesome, produced without harmful pesticides, etc.

Organic milk isn't produced with antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotics is a serious health problem. Today, of all the main places that an antibiotic is overused is in agriculture. Organic milk comes from cows that were not given antibiotics, so it doesn't contribute to the growing problem of bacterial resistance.

Organic milk is very high in conjugated linoleic acids (CLA). CLAs are important healthy fats that have been proven to have been linked to reduced heart disease and diabetes. As a matter of fact, in the May 9th issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health reported that dairy products that are low in fat, including milk, is shown to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes (in men).

Another big advantage of organic milk over regular milk is its ability to go for a long time without turning sour: organic milk is heated to around 280 °F (138 °C), so it would take up to two months for it to turn sour. Because of the fact that regular, pasteurized milk is heated to 145 °F (63 °C), it doesn't have the same life. So if you are worried about milk turning sour fairly quickly, then organic milk may actually allow you to save money.

Understand that it's the right thing to do. Organic cows must be able to access open air, unlike factory cows. Cows that produce organic milk or organic cows from many dairy farms are allowed to graze freely in organic pasture. This type of farming is considerate to animals, and isn't cruel, is very supportive of wildlife, good for many rural communities, respectful of air, water and soil, and is healthy for people.
Be aware that if you are trying to drink more milk by putting milk inside your tea, the benefits of the tea will be cancelled entirely.  Rather than putting milk in your tea, try putting in honey instead. Also, try to put milk inside coffee rather than tea, as milk doesn't affect coffee.
 Be aware of all the vitamins and minerals found in milk:

• Calcium: Keeps bones and teeth healthy; helps your body maintain bone mass.
• Protein: A good source of energy: builds and repairs your muscle tissue; good after work-outs.
• Potassium: Helps you keep a good blood pressure.
• Phosphorus: Helps strengthen your bones and gives you energy.
• Vitamin D: Helps your body maintain your bones.
• Vitamin B12: Helps maintain healthy red blood cells and helps maintain nerve tissue.
• Vitamin A: Helps maintain the immune system; helps maintain normal vision and good skin.
• Niacin: Improves your metabolism; have a glass before doing aerobics. 

 Drink milk to avoid illnesses. The USDA has shown drinking milk to prevent osteoporosis, because of its nutrients: calcium and vitamin D. Other evidence shows the intake of milk and milk products is linked to improved bone health and the reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. 
Be aware as to whether or not milk or milk products are made out of pasteurized milk or not. Pasteurization kills bacteria and other harmful microorganisms that are found in raw milk, and it is dangerous to drink raw milk.
