Nutritional Advantages
With exercise and smart eating, all foods can fit into a healthy diet and
lifestyle. Cheese is an excellent source of calcium and can provide 20-25%
of the daily amount needed to build and maintain bone mass. Numerous
scientific studies indicate adequate calcium intake plays an important role
in warding off osteoporosis (a bone-thinning disease), regulating blood
pressure, reducing the risk of colon cancer and reducing symptoms of
premenstrual syndrome. In addition, research reveals certain types of
cheese like Cheddar and mozzarella may help prevent tooth decay.
Cheese provides adults with the following nutrients:
- Calcium, for strong bones and teeth
- Phosphorus, to help strengthen bones and generate energy in body cells
- Protein, for building and repairing muscles
- Riboflavin, to help convert food into energy
- Zinc, for growth, normal metabolism and digestion
- Vitamin B12, for building red blood cells that carry oxygen
The low lactose content of cheese makes this food highly suitable for
individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. Most hard cheeses
contain minimal (1-3 g/100g) or no lactose.
