June is National Dairy Month so we are encouraging you to consume your dairy at breakfast time.

I’m sure you know that all foods in the Dairy group contain calcium which is needed for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. But did you know, that calcium is also important for regulating blood pressure and for the nervous system?

The Dairy Group includes milk, yogurt, cheese, and fortified soymilk. They provide calcium, vitamin D, potassium, protein, and other nutrients needed for good health throughout life. Choices should be low-fat or fat-free—to cut calories and saturated fat.

How much dairy is needed?

Older children, teens, and adults need 3 cups a day
Children 4 to 8 years old need 2½ cups a day
Children 2 to 3 years old need 2 cups a day

What counts as a cup of dairy?

1 cup of milk, yogurt, or soy beverage
1½ ounces of natural cheese
