Chase Chills With Warm Milk

One 8-oz glass of milk packs a powerful punch of bone-building calcium, but can milk help ease some depression symptoms, too?

A higher consumption of foods with lactose — a sugar found in milk and other dairy products — was linked in his study to a lower risk of depression, Gangwisch says. But milk is a good choice only if you aren't lactose intolerant: People who lack the enzyme lactase, which digests lactose, may experience symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping after downing dairy.

For people who can tolerate milk, non-fat or low-fat versions can help you keep your calories in check. If there's a chill in the air, steam or warm the milk for a cozier drink.
