In order for cottage cheese to bring you the maximum benefit and not cause digestive problems, you need to properly combine it with other foods, writes “Doctor Peter”.
Cottage cheese is one of the healthiest dairy products. It has a lot of calcium and protein. It is perfect for those who want to lose weight and build muscle. But for cottage cheese to bring maximum benefits, it must be combined with the right foods, otherwise there is a risk that even such healthy food will bring health problems, experts said.
In particular, cottage cheese should not be eaten with sugar, fish or meat. Since animal proteins do not mix well, combining cottage cheese with meat or fish can lead to digestive problems, rotting, fermentation and irritation. You should not eat cottage cheese with sugar because the product itself already contains lactose – milk sugar. Additional sweetener may increase your risk of diabetes.
In addition, experts do not recommend mixing cottage cheese with eggs: they also contain a lot of protein. The product should not be washed down with coffee: this drink interferes with calcium absorption and you will not get all the benefits from cottage cheese.
It is best to add sour cream and nuts to the cottage cheese. Greens, cucumbers and onions go well with the product. Spices and seasonings will help diversify the taste.
