2. Strengthens Bones
Packed with calcium and phosphorus, cottage cheese helps maintain bone density and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
“Bone health becomes increasingly important with age,” says dietitian Julia Zumpano, “and cottage cheese is an easy way to support it.”
3. Aids Weight Management
Thanks to its high protein content, cottage cheese keeps you full longer, curbing cravings and reducing unnecessary snacking.
Dietitian Therese Molzahn notes, “Casein’s slow digestion helps stabilize blood sugar, making it a great choice for weight loss.”
4. Boosts Gut Health
Some cottage cheeses contain probiotics (live cultures) from the fermentation process, which promote a healthy gut microbiome. Look for labels that say “live and active cultures” to maximize digestive benefits.
5. Supports Brain & Nervous System Function
Cottage cheese is an excellent source of B vitamins, particularly B12 and riboflavin, which are crucial for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and reducing oxidative stress in the brain.
6. May Lower Cancer Risk
