Milk nutrients and their functions

Nutrients Function
Components of Major components of milk are fat (6.5%), protein
milk (3.7%), lactose (4.5-5%) and minerals (0.7%).

Lactose Helps provide energy

2 types of Contains almost all the essential amino acids.
Proteins Casein (80%) & Whey (20%) proteins
Needed for growth & development of muscles

Fat soluble essential for normal growth, health and

vitamins reproduction of living organisms.

Vit A Strengthens vision

Vit E For skin and immunity
Vit K Blood clotting
Essential micronutrients and their functions

Micronutrient Function
Calcium Essential for the healthy growth and maintenance of
teeth and bones
Riboflavin Necessary for the release of energy from foods and the
(Vit B2) health of the body membranes including the skin
Immunity
Iodine Important to make thyroid hormones
Phosphorous A vital role in the maintenance of healthy bones and
teeth
cell membrane structure and
Regulation of metabolism
Potassium maintain normal blood pressure and helps maintain
muscular and neurological function
Folate The vitamin helps form red blood cells and produce DNA,
the building block of the human body
Important for muscular growth

Milk has 2 imp proteins :-

Casein and whey protein.

Casein accounts for 80% of its

protein content in milk, which is
effective at building muscle
most necessary at growing age.

Whey proteins helps improve

muscle protein synthesis and
promote the growth of lean
tissue mass.
Prevents Osteoporosis (fragile bone disorder)

A usually found problem in

females after age of 40
wherein the bones may
develop cracks or get
demineralised due to lack of
calcium.

Regular consumption of
paneer can help prevent this
disease.
Prevention of hypertension and vascular health

Milk’s calcium, magnesium

and potassium content is one
of the possible explanations,
as is the production of
bioactive peptides capable of
inhibiting certain enzymes
(ACE) involved in the
mechanisms of hypertension.
Milk consumption has also a
beneficial effect on blood
vessel walls and their
elasticity
