Cheese after 55: when your favorite product can become a health risk
“Eat cheese — you’ll have strong bones and get enough protein.”
We’ve all heard this phrase since childhood — it’s become almost a national dogma of healthy eating. Cheese is our “sacred cow” in dietetics.
But what if I told you that for many people after 55, this maxim is not just outdated, but may even be harmful?
Sounds bold, right?
Modern gerontology and nutrition look at food in a completely different way than 30 years ago. Today, experts know: the body after 60 is a finely tuned mechanism. And what was useful at 40 can become a burden at 70.
That’s why doctors are increasingly talking not about the “benefits of cheese” in general, but about five specific situations in which this product should be limited or completely avoided.
Don’t panic—let’s take a look at these five risk factors, according to modern science. Check to see if you fall into any of them. This simple list will help you figure out whether cheese is your friend—or a hidden health enemy.
