Migros Industrie’s sustainability strategy
Health
Milk is good for your health
We are paying more and more attention to our health. To be as healthy as possible, it is important to take regular exercise – but also to be careful about what we eat. The various nutritional constituents of milk and dairy products make them an important part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Packed with energy
Dairy products contain proteins, lipids and sugars.
When consumed, metabolised and converted, these nutrients are an important source of energy, promoting growth and development and helping in the overall maintenance of the body’s vital processes.
Rich in calcium and vitamin D
Milk is one of the primary sources of calcium, a vital element required for strong bones and teeth.
A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D helps to slow the loss of bone density that can occur with age, thus preventing osteoporosis.
Rich in vitamins
Milk is a good source of vitamins B, A, E and D, and also contains numerous minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc.
Vitamins and minerals mean a healthy body. These micronutrients are involved in many physiological processes. The body therefore requires a regular supply of them.
Rich in proteins
Dairy products are rich in proteins, which are not only a source of energy, but also a major source of amino acids.
Dairy proteins are also required for a host of important biological functions which keep the body working properly.
