This weekend I picked up the Health magazine again and read an article titled 'The amazing benefits of milk' by Rachel Nungrum. In this article there were three things that doctors have proven that milk can do, (besides the obvious things such as gives you strong bones, etc. ). The first thing they mentioned was that it was a great moisturizer for your entire body. This is true because of all the vitamins with in milk such as vitamin A, vitamin B, and lactic acid. Then it gives you a recipe to make a wonderful moisturizer out of milk, honey, and water. Second they explained that milk is proven to be a good eye gel. Who would have thought that by taking a cotton ball, dipping it in milk and placing it on your eyes it will get rid of the puffiness and the swelling in your eyes. This works because of the fat that is in milk hydrates and penetrates the skin. Lastly, they wrote about how milk is a PMS fighter. Women who drink milk and get all the vitamins within milk are proved to have lighter menstrual cycles. The vitamins create some sort of layer in a women's stomach, which results in less cramping during periods.

Maggie,
This is Joe A. from the U of M. I really liked your writing on Health magazine. Oh, if only I could afford cool magazines like Health and Food & Wine. I get Rolling Stone, but that is because I have gotten it since High School and it would feel wrong to quit, is that weird? I have always wondered about milk. I thought I was lactose intolerant for the longest time, or maybe allergic, but I just think that milk "does a body good" as the cheesy saying goes...
