Certain cheeses offer significant health benefits, especially for the liver, as reported by Le Journal des Femmes. People often misunderstand dairy products, including cheese. Not all dairy products should be grouped together.

“Strangely, milk and its associated products were once considered noble foods. Today, animal-based dairy products like cheese have a bad reputation. However, they are mostly the foods that contain the most calcium, a mineral essential for bone and tooth formation, blood clotting, nerve conduction, and hormone release. They are also great for people with a congested or tired liver because a malfunctioning liver can no longer store vitamins and minerals like vitamin D or calcium, deficiencies of which are harmful at all levels,” says Professor Patrick Marcellin, a hepatologist at Beaujon Hospital, as reported by our colleagues.

Which Cheese Can Benefit Your Liver?

Several scientific studies have confirmed the protective role of dairy products, particularly cheese, on liver health. Research in Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases showed dairy improves blood lipid profiles, lowering triglycerides and cholesterol. This reduces liver fat accumulation, lowering the risk of liver diseases like NAFLD. By promoting a balanced lipid metabolism, cheese, when consumed in moderation, can become an unexpected ally for liver health.
