Dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt are rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins to help build strong bones and teeth. Eating dairy foods can lower your risk of developing a disease called osteoporosis that occurs when bones become weak and break easily. Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy milk or yogurt (or lactose-free dairy or fortified soy versions).
