​ Probiotics in cheese to aid digestion

26 Sep 2024 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

Probiotics can help your body maintain a healthy community of microorganisms or help your body’s community of microorganisms return to a healthy condition after being disturbed
Many people take probiotics to help relieve diarrhea, constipation or stomach pain. Over the long term, probiotics should improve your overall gut health, including your bowel regularity and digestion, reducing discomfort. Eating cheese is an easy way to incorporate probiotics into your diet.
Although most types of cheese are fermented, it doesn’t mean that all of them contain probiotics. That’s why it’s important to look for the words “live cultures” or “active cultures” on the food labels.
Semi-hard cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda, as well as cottage cheese, may contain higher levels of probiotics than other types of cheese that are aged for longer periods of time.
Cheese is also highly nutritious and an excellent source of protein. It’s also rich in important vitamins and minerals such as:
• vitamins A, B6, B12, D, and K
• calcium
• iodine
• magnesium
• potassium
• phosphorus
• selenium
• zinc
