By drinking three eightounce servings of lowfat or fat-free milk each day in place of sugary soft drinks with little or no nutritional value, along with regular exercise and eating smart, teens can help keep their bodies looking toned and healthy. Milk is the only beverage naturally packaged with nine essential nutrients, including calcium for strong bones and protein for building muscle. To date, the campaign has awarded more than 250 talented teens with more than $1.5 million in scholarships.
