There are many different kinds of foods out there but one of the most popular is cheese. You can put cheese into almost anything you make and have it taste good. Who doesn’t love cheese? (besides health reasons). Some of the most popular cheeses are cheddar, swiss, blue cheese, white cheddar, asiago, parmesan, romano, gouda, provolone, colby, and mozzarella. My favorite types of cheeses are cheddar, colby and parmesan. You can basically put parmesan cheese on everything including pizza, spaghetti, noodles, etc. Surprisingly, the worst cheeses to eat are low-fat cheeses. The worst is reduced sodium cheddar. Whenever you see a label that says reduced-fat, reduced sugar, or reduced anything for that matter, you should find out what they are substituting with. Reduced-sodium foods have the same problem so although low sodium may sound appeal, check your ingredients label before you decide to purchase. The second worse cheese for you is sweetened cream cheese. Cream Cheese may be perfect on a bagel but again, watch out for ingredients. Some cream cheese spreads market that they are healthier, however many of the flavored varieties contain added ingredients such as aspartame. This is good knowledge to know because now you can be more cautious about the cheeses you eat. Sure slipping up here and there isn’t a big deal, but someone probably wouldn’t want to make it a habit of knowingly eating all the wrong foods.
One of the best cheeses out there for you is cottage cheese. Cottage Cheese is not only a valuable sources of protein, clocking in at 15 grams per serving, but it is also low in sodium. In a 2014 study, cottage cheese was found to have the lowest sodium measurement among all of the cheeses tested. Another good cheese to eat is parmesan, which just happens to be one of my favorites so that makes me happy. Parmesan is naturally higher in fat than other cheeses but a little sprinkle goes a long way on a salad or pasta dish. A study published in Flavour found that parmesean cheese is naturally strong in umami, which makes low-fat foods taste better and is known to improve digestion. Knowing all this one, one would hope that everyone chooses to eat the healthier cheese. Some of the other healthiest cheeses are swiss, organic, and full-fat cheese. You can make all kinds of different foods and prepare it in different ways, it all depends on the types of cheese you like because they all taste different anyways.
