Milk and curd have long been recognized for their powerful nutritional value. Considered nature’s "Amrit" (elixir), these dairy products are packed with essential nutrients and have now earned scientific support for their cancer-preventing potential.
A recent Oxford University study, conducted on half a million people using 97 dietary items, found that milk and curd ranked highest in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. Notably, daily consumption of curd significantly lowers the chances of developing this type of cancer—currently the third most common cancer globally. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in every 10 cancer cases is related to colorectal cancer.
Why Curd and Milk Are Essential for Health
Experts recommend milk and curd, especially in fermented or probiotic forms, for their wide-ranging health benefits:
Boost Immunity: Rich in Vitamin C
Improve Digestion: Packed with calcium, B12, B2, magnesium, potassium
Support Bone Health
Aid Weight Loss
Promote Anti-Aging
Especially during summer, curd is seen as a cooling, gut-friendly superfood. Yog Guru Swami Ramdev has consistently emphasized incorporating more milk and curd in the diet to prevent lifestyle diseases like cancer.
