3. Cheese
Not all cheeses are created equal! There are numerous types of cheese out there: from Roquefort to Cheddar and Gorgonzola; there is a type of cheese for each personality type. However, the healthiest options are cottage cheese, feta cheese, goat cheese, and sheep milk cheese, such as Pecorino Romano and ricotta cheese.
As a general rule, try to opt for types of cheese that aren’t processed, as they tend to contain vegetable oils, food coloring, salt, preservatives, and even the white stuff.
So, depending on the benefits you want to reap, whether increasing bone health or lowering blood pressure, you have a ton of healthy cheeses to choose from. Just keep in mind that some of them are high in fat or sodium. Ask a registered dietitian or nutritionist what’s the best option for you.
