A doctor with 23 years of experience examines popular myths about the benefits of cottage cheese
Let's deal with cottage cheese: fat or not fat.
Curd is one of my favorite foods. I'm a big opponent drinking milk for adults, but this does not apply to fermented milk products. There are a lot of elements in cottage cheese (especially calcium) and highly digestible valuable squirrel.
How to choose cottage cheese
The main question that patients ask is Is it true that you need to eat fatty cottage cheese, otherwise calcium will not be absorbed?
There is no scientific evidence that more fat is needed to absorb calcium. So it is this element that the fat content of the curd does not affect.
I still recommend using normal fat cottage cheese - 5-9% and try not to increase the calorie content due to a large amount of jam, honey, sour cream. You can add stevia or erythritol as sweeteners.
Since cottage cheese is a paradoxical products with a high insulin index (that is, it causes the release of insulin and can stimulate hunger), then it must be eaten with slow carbohydrates -
vegetables, grain bread. Thus, we turn this snack into a full meal and do not stimulate the hunger center.How to eat cheesecakes
More importantly: the most popular sweet dish in Russian cuisine is cheesecakes or casserole. And it is customary to eat them with tea or coffee. The problem is that these drinks make the calcium, iron, vitamins of group B and A indigestible. Therefore, do not count on these elements if you wash down cheesecakes with tea.
