Blue Cheeses Secret Nutritional Benefits

I dont know about you, but I always heard that cheese wasnt very healthy. I mean, it can be a pretty high-fat food and for many years, fat was demonized by the weight loss and nutrition world.

So, I used to avoid cheese in the name of weight loss. (Which is like a form of torture to me because I REALLY love cheese!)

But then I learned that many cheeses are actually good for you and some of them can even help you lose weight.

(Which was the best news I had heard in a LONG time!)

I was excited to find this recipe because it features blue cheese, which is one of my favorites. And not only does blue cheese have a really unique, tangy flavor but it also holds a ton of nutritional benefits.

For example, did you know that blue cheese contains more calcium than most other cheeses? And calcium is an important nutrient for supporting bone health and preventing osteoporosis.

So do you need to eat more blue cheese in the name of health? Maybe so! 🙂

In just one ounce of whole-milk blue cheese, youll find:

• 33% of the RDI of calcium (150 mg)
• 6 grams of protein
• 8 grams of fat
• 1 gram of carbs

In addition, blue cheese contains important vitamins and minerals… including potassium, vitamin K, and phosphorus.

With those kinds of benefits, why limit yourself to using blue cheese as an occasional salad topping? It also goes great on burgers and pizza!
