Cheese lovers, rejoice! According to the new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it has been noticed that people who consume high-fat cheese on a daily basis consume good cholesterol. Yes, it might surprise you, but research has proved that cheese can be a healthy food choice for us.
Investigating more on this we got to know that high-fat cheese has higher levels of good cholesterol called high-density lipoprotein. HDL is good for our body as it carries cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver, where it is passed out of the body as a waste product.
It’s been said that cheese and other foods high in saturated fats do not increase the risk of death or heart attacks. Apart from being rich sources of calcium, vitamin B12 and protein, cheese is a key to faster metabolism, which can help one in reducing weight. So go ahead and indulge!
