I will continue to tell you about cottage cheese. About how to choose it and why low-fat cottage cheese is more beneficial for the figure than low-fat - read here.
Is it necessary to eat fatty cottage cheese so that “calcium is better absorbed”?
There is no evidence that extra fat is needed for calcium to be better absorbed. So don't force yourself.
By the way, if there is vegetable fat in cottage cheese, then in its presence, part of the calcium can turn into insoluble calcium soaps. And, accordingly, become absolutely useless for our health.
What is the best way to consume cottage cheese?
For the absorption of calcium, D3, magnesium and phosphorus are needed, they are supposed to be in the cottage cheese itself.
But you can enhance the effect by adding foods containing phosphorus and magnesium:
- pistachios,
- almonds,
- Pine nuts
- walnuts,
- hazelnuts.
And D3, many people use it separately, since in our geographical position this is not superfluous.
When is it better to eat cottage cheese - for breakfast or dinner?
The best time for cottage cheese - the first half of the day. And there is a scientific basis for this. Dairy products have a high insulin index, that is strongly stimulate insulin synthesis (and, consequently, hunger). And in the morning, our insulin receptors are not as sensitive as in the evening.
Cottage cheese eaten at night can greatly whet your appetite.
More important: cottage cheese should be eaten with slow carbohydrates - vegetables, bread.
Thus, we turn this snack into a full meal and do not stimulate the hunger center.
To be continued. In particular, are cottage cheese pancakes useful and why there are swelling from cottage cheese.
