Cheese - the source of proteins and vitamins!

First, it must be said that the cheese is unusually rich in vitamins. It contains vitamins A and B, and other amino acids, without which the human body can not manage, such as tryptophan, methionine and lysine.

In hard cheese there is a lot of calcium, phosphorus, zinc. To get the daily norm of calcium, for adult persons it is sufficient to eat only 80 grams per day of this kind of cheese.

As for proteins, the cheese cosists 22% of them. Cheeses can be described as a remarkable, universal source of proteins. In addition, the protein contained in cheese is completely absorbed.

Moreover, in cheese is present a so-named protein - casein, which forms the casomorphin - a substance with properties reminiscent to morphine, but when acting similar on the body, all the good effects are the same , without negative properties of the drug. And cheese also contains fatty acids that reduce the risk of cancer.

Ancient Romans thought the cheese is not only a remarkable way to improve digestion, but also an excellent antidote to poisoning! And the peoples of the Caucasus put much of smelly cheese on the wedding table because, in their view, this cheese is supposedly acting like an aphrodisiac.

But if these are just rumors, it was proven the fact: all who have allergy to milk, can calmly eat cheese in the food.
Allergic reactions to cows' milk almost exclusively is caused by lactose, which in the milk is in surplus, but is not present in the cheese, despite the fact that other substances and the properties of milk are preserved in cheese in its original form!
