Cheese, a food revered for its culinary versatility, goes beyond its role as a mere ingredient to become a source of enjoyment and health benefits.

Its presence is striking in many dishes, from the simplest to the most refined, offering a wide range of flavors and textures that captivate the most demanding palates.

However, in addition to its delicious qualities, cheese also stands out as a healthy ally, providing essential nutrients and contributing to the body's balance.

Nutritionist Graciela Vargas highlights three main benefits of cheese for health. Firstly, its consumption balances the intestinal flora, preventing problems such as constipation or diarrhea due to the high content of probiotics present.

Next, butyrate that is formed during the digestion of cheese helps prevent intestinal cancer, promotes cell differentiation and reduces the chances of tumor mutations. For those who are lactose intolerant, Graciela recommends options such as more yellow and aged cheeses, such as Parmesan, which are lower in sugar, maintaining flavor and nutritional benefits.
