Like Eating Juicy Steaks? Drink More Milk!

Hey I admit it… I'm from Texas and I like eating my steaks!   I usually barbeque a big juicy steak about once a week.  It appears that drinking skim milk with your steak may have a positive health benefit.  There was a research study conducted at the Oklahoma State University saying that Calcium may help reduce the amount of saturated fat that your body absorbs.  The study showed that calcium binds with the fat molecules and helps flush it through the intestines meaning that less fat will be absorbed into your body.  Great news for people trying to lose weight!

Now I don't think that means we can eat more of the fatty foods in our diet just because we drink more milk.  Calcium is laking in most people's diets so I think it would be a good practice to get more calcium in our diet to help lose or maintain our current weight.  Some good sources of calcium are low fat yogurt, low fat cheese,broccoli, and beans.
