Cottage cheese is one of the most common dietary products. How is it useful?
Curd is a very useful milk protein concentrate, with a lot of calcium and other trace elements. There is almost no fiber or tissue structure in it, which makes curd easily digestible. Cottage cheese, unlike the protein found in meat or fish, is absorbed almost completely.
The cottage cheese also contains animal fat (in some varieties - up to 20 percent), which is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system. The curd contains methionine - an amino acid that has a lipotropic effect, prevents fatty liver, and protects it from the action of toxins or certain drugs.
In addition, this product contains a large amount of vitamins B6 and B12, P, E and A. The curd contains a large amount of folic acid, copper, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus and fluorine - and all this in an easily digestible form. A large amount of calcium ensures the restoration of bone tissue, as well as other tissues of the body, and is also useful for improving blood formation.
Cottage cheese is useful for everyone - from babies to whom this source of protein, vitamins and microelements is introduced already at 7-8 months, to the elderly. Cottage cheese is a part of diets for some liver diseases, hypertension, atherosclerosis.
