When you stroll through the dazzling food counters in the supermarket, I wonder if you have noticed that there is a kind of food that is slowly increasing. That is-cheese. From time to time, mothers picked up cheese and studied it for a long time. A few people bought it, but most people put it down again. Cheese is a traditional food for westerners, just like tofu in China, which has a history of more than 4,000 years. The people who eat the most cheese are the French, who consume 20 kilograms of cheese per capita every year, and our neighbor Japan, who also consumes 2 kilograms of cheese per capita every year. So what are the benefits of cheese? Let's take a look at why we choose cheese.

1. Nutrition

Cheese is the essence of milk. Do you know that 10 kg of milk can make 1 kg of cheese? Cheese preserves all the essence of milk. Cheese, like yogurt, is fermented first, and then most of the water is removed like tofu and condensed. Therefore, the protein in cheese is usually 8-10 times that in milk, and the protein in cheese is degraded into rich poly * * and other amino acid polymers with independent structure and physiological functions through complicated processes such as fermentation, coagulation and ripening. Therefore, it is more conducive to human absorption than milk. In addition, cheese is also rich in various minerals necessary for the human body. It is really one of the rare nutritious foods.

Step 2 supplement calcium

When it comes to calcium supplementation, everyone must be familiar with it. Television, newspapers and magazines repeatedly "bombed", giving people in China a feeling that China people are short of calcium, so the whole people take calcium supplements. No matter what kind of food, as long as it is labeled as "high calcium XX", it can be promoted and sold at a good price. Of course, high value-added products should naturally have higher prices. According to the popular saying, it is "value for money" or "value for money". However, no matter consumers or advertising, people pay less attention to how much calcium the human body can effectively absorb. In fact, calcium added artificially is generally not easy to be absorbed by human body, and if it is eaten too much, it will bring kidney calculi and gallstones. On the contrary, the calcium in cheese is pure natural calcium, and its content is 6-8 times that of milk, which is the most easily absorbed by human body.

Step 3 lose weight

Losing weight is another hot topic nowadays. Especially for girls, obesity is always a heart disease in their hearts. There is a misunderstanding that cheese is rich in fat, which will make you fat. In fact, cakes, biscuits and snacks generally have more than twice as much fat as cheese. In fact, people get fat, except for special diseases, because the calorie intake is more than the calorie consumption, which is deposited and converted into fat. Casein in cheese just makes consumers feel full and full, so they can avoid excessive calorie intake. According to foreign statistics, people who don't eat cheese are more likely to be obese than those who eat cheese regularly. Besides, the human body still needs a certain amount of fat, because fat is the necessary carrier of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Just don't overdo it.

4. Healthy teeth

The latest research shows that a piece of cheese after a meal can help prevent tooth decay. Because cheese can increase saliva in the mouth and neutralize acid in the mouth; The high calcium content and phosphorus content in cheese coat the enamel surface of your teeth with a protective film. Cheese also inhibits the growth of tooth decay bacteria, so eating cheese is the simplest and most effective way to protect your teeth!

5. Fashion

Young people are the most receptive to new things. Once upon a time, western food was quietly popular among young people. The best match of wine is cheese, and wine and cheese are as close as lips and teeth. In the dining table of westerners, wine and cheese are two indispensable things, which have special status and significance both in nutrition and etiquette. When the candlelight flickers, lovers are full of affection, holding glasses and slices of cheese, which represent the deep affection and play a role in competing for each other. Generally speaking, light fresh cheese and semi-hard cheese can be matched with light and fruity red wine or dry white wine, thick and mellow goat cheese and white mold cheese can be matched with rich red wine, and blue cheese with full personality can be matched with strong and strong red wine or sweet white wine such as Muscat and Sauternes.

6. Beauty

Cheese also has a cosmetic effect! I don't know! Cheese is rich in vitamins A, B2, protein, active * * *, amino acids and zinc, which are essential elements for human body, and will make your skin elastic, white and delicate, your hair bright and supple, and your eyes clear and bright. Some people even add lavender sesame oil to cheese to make a mask! It is said that the effect is unexpectedly good.

7. Delicious

Indeed, cheese is not a traditional food of China people. When you taste it for the first time, it has a strange taste. Some people have been abroad and occasionally taste strong cheese, which is really unacceptable. Go back to China and never touch cheese again. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. There are many kinds of cheeses, some are mild and some are strong. When you start eating cheese, you should choose mild cheese, such as flaky processed cheese on the market now, or imported "mild cheddar" and "camembert". Perhaps our first contact with cheese started with hamburgers at McDonald's, and then pizza at Pizza Hut. The dairy product that can be pulled out of the pizza is called Mo Sarila cheese. Cheese is a new imported product for us, just like Coca-Cola and beer. When I first drank coke, it tasted like cough syrup; The first time I drank beer, the bitter taste was not good at all. After many years, coke and beer have been integrated into the lives of ordinary people in China. It can be seen that taste can be cultivated and changed, and anything that feels unfamiliar at first will often become addicted later. It is best to cultivate the taste from an early age, and the habits developed as a child may be maintained throughout life. Europeans like to eat cheese so much, which is also inseparable from their growing up from snack cheese.

8. Overcome lactose intolerance

It is reported that the sales volume of liquid milk in big cities in China began to remain stable, and the growth slowed down or even declined. Why? Of course, there are many reasons, one of which is that many people can't drink milk, and they are uncomfortable when they drink it. This is the manifestation of lactose intolerance. According to relevant statistics, people with lactose intolerance in Asia account for 80% of the total population Now yogurt sells well, one of the reasons is that the lactose content of yogurt is only 30%-50% of liquid milk, and some consumers can drink yogurt, but they are not suitable for drinking liquid milk. Then, cheese just overcomes this deficiency of liquid milk! Lactose in cheese is almost zero after fermentation and degradation, so there is no need to worry about lactose intolerance. Besides, cheese is the essence of milk, why don't you try it boldly?

A few years ago, a little book called "Who Moved My Cheese" was popular all over the country, which led to many sayings of "Who Moved XXX Cheese". So today, I also dare to use the topic: "Can you move the really delicious and nutritious cheese?"
