     "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, milk may work in the same way!

     Milk is the natural food for mammalian (哺乳动物) babies. It helps them grow strong because it is rich

in protein (蛋白质), calcium (钙) and vitamins. Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you

down.

     But remember to drink milk with care. Find out how old the milk is. Make sure it is fresh and hasn't gone

bad. Don't drink milk when your stomach is empty. Eat some bread or corn at the same time. That'll help

you take in more protein and vitamins.

     Doctors say teens need at least 500ml of milk a day. That's two or three cups. Milk-drinking started long

ago, as early as 6,000-8,000BC. At that time people started to keep cows, sheep and goats to get their milk.

Of course what you drink today isn't that fresh from the cow. People cool the fresh milk down to 40℃ to

stop the bacteria (细菌)growing. In factories, milk is pasteurized (灭菌) to stop it growing bad. After

disinfections (消毒) and packaging, it goes to the supermarkets.

     Yoghourt also comes from milk. People make some special bacteria to change the taste of milk and

make the nutrients (营养) in it easier for people to take in. Maybe that's why it's getting more popular

with people!
