Milks Hidden Talents

This weekend I picked up an interesting health magazene and read an article titled 'The amazing benefits of milk' by Rachel Nungrum. In this article there were three things that doctors have proven that milk can do, (besides the obvious things such as gives you strong bones, etc. ). The first thing they mentioned was that it was a great moisturizer for your entire body. This is true because of all the vitamins with in milk such as vitamin A, vitamin B, and lactic acid. Then it gives you a recipe to make a wonderful moisturizer out of milk, honey, and water. Second they explained that milk is proven to be a good eye gel. Who would have thought that by taking a cotton ball, dipping it in milk and placing it on your eyes it will get rid of the puffiness and the swelling in your eyes. This works because of the fat that is in milk hydrates and penetrates the skin. I think it's incredible that such a common thing such as milk can have so many unusual uses, it really shows that everything has hidden "talents".
