It’s National Cheese Day! If you’re like me then, you celebrate this wonderful food every single day by including it in most of your meals and snacks. If you’re like me then also, in your friend group, when anyone brings up cheese, everybody’s eyes light up and we all repeat the word cheeeeeese as if it’s some sort of a God. I put cream cheese on my bagel in the morning, I have a string cheese with fruit mid-morning, I sprinkle feta on my lunch salad, and have some cheese and fruit with wine before dinner—which also involves some cheese. If your stomach can tolerate dairy, you can get some pretty wonderful benefits from cheese. It’s no wonder there are entire stores dedicated just to cheese, and many supermarkets are opening up gourmet cheese tasting counters. For National Cheese Day, here are the wonderful benefits of eating more cheese.

It has protein
Cheese is high in protein. If you’re tired of eating meat, if you’re a vegetarian looking for meat-free protein sources, or if you need a quick and easy energizing snack to store in your office refrigerator, cheese is perfect.
