Here are a few examples of nutrient interactions that occur within dairy foods and between dairy and other foods \u2013 along with ideas for food pairing:<\/p>\n<p><b>New study with milk and supplemental vitamin E<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminE-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vitamin E<\/a> (alpha-tocopherol) is an antioxidant that protects cells from the damaging effects of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rice.edu\/~jenky\/sports\/antiox.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">free radicals<\/a>. While more research is needed, limiting free-radical production may prove beneficial in the management of cardiovascular disease and cancer, two diseases often associated with free radicals.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin E also supports the immune system and helps maintain healthy blood vessels. Nuts, seeds and vegetable oils are among the <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminE-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">best sources of vitamin E<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Emerging research indicates drinking milk, regardless of fat content, enhances vitamin E absorption in those with metabolic syndrome, as noted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldairycouncil.org\/content\/2015\/milk-appears-to-enhance-vitamin-e-absorption-for-those-with-metabolic-syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">recent study<\/a>. Stay tuned, as more research is needed to discover what constituent of milk improved the bioavailability of vitamin E. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/8313238\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vitamins C and E<\/a> are recognized as &#8220;partners in defense,&#8221; because they are both antioxidants and vitamin C helps repair and regenerate vitamin E. Some of the richest <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminC-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">food sources of vitamin C<\/a> are fruits and vegetables. <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Try it at home:<\/b> Start your day right by consuming foods from different food groups for breakfast. Try a peanut butter smoothie made with milk and yogurt along with a sliced orange or have peanut butter on toast, a glass of milk and bowl of strawberries. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Nutrients in milk and vitamin K <\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminK-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vitamin K<\/a> functions as a co-enzyme required for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Osteocalcin, a vitamin K-dependent protein, is present in bone and may be involved in bone mineralization and turnover. Food sources of vitamin K are green leafy vegetables, such as collards, turnip greens, and spinach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK109825\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D<\/a> in milk work together along with <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminK-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">vitamin K<\/a> to support bone health. <a href=\"https:\/\/dairygood.org\/content\/2015\/why-is-vitamin-d-added-to-milk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vitamin D-fortified milk<\/a> is an excellent source of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D&#8217;s major biologic function in humans is to maintain calcium and phosphorus concentrations in the blood within the normal range by enhancing the absorption efficiency of these minerals from the diet. <\/p>\n<p>Scientists recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nutraingredients-usa.com\/Research\/Yogurt-is-a-suitable-matrix-to-deliver-vitamin-K2-says-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">studied the feasibility of fortifying yogurt with vitamin K<\/a> for improving vitamin K status in adults and found that fortified yogurt was more effective than a vitamin K supplement.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Try it at Home:<\/b> To tap into the synergies between dairy and vitamin K-rich foods, try a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/green_smoothie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Green Smoothie<\/a>, or this delicious <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooksmarts.com\/articles\/kale-and-parmesan-salad-with-lemon-yogurt-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kale and Parmesan Salad with Lemon Yogurt Dressing<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These examples of food\/nutrient synergies are not to make you research everything you eat and obsessively pair foods at every eating occasion. Rather it is to give you a glimpse of the complexity and beauty of whole foods and a new appreciation of their role in healthy lifestyles. Who knows? Recognizing synergies between nutrients and food components may be the spark that ignites an interest in eating well. <\/p>\n<p>Note: This content was originally shared in a blog post by <span class=\"xn-person\">Judy Jarvis<\/span> of National Dairy Council.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fuertesconleche.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fuertesconleche.com<\/a> for more ideas on food pairings, many delicious milk recipes and nutritional facts.
