If you love melting cheese on stuff, you probably know or have heard about mozzarella cheese. Most people absolutely adore this dairy product because of its texture and great taste. However, this type of cheese is usually something that’s considered bad for the health. If you’re one of the people that has a similar school of thought, this article is for you.

Mozzarella cheese is way more than just calories and taste. Besides being a good source of calcium, it has many different health benefits. Here are some of them.

Source of Biotin  

Mozzarella cheese is a great source of Vitamin B7. Since Biotin isn’t water-soluble, your body won’t store it. Meaning that this type of cheese can help satisfy a person’s immediate nutritional needs. Pregnant women can use mozzarella to help with Vitamin B7 deficiency. Furthermore, it also stops your nails from turning brittle.

Source of Riboflavin

Mozzarella cheese is also a great source of riboflavin or Vitamin B12. Your body needs riboflavin daily because it helps to fight conditions and ailments such as anaemia and migraine attacks. It also has antioxidant properties.

Source of Zinc

Another beneficial nutrient found in mozzarella cheese is zinc. Zinc is used by the body to help it improve its white blood cell counts. This nutrient can also help treat some skin conditions as well. Lastly, it can also help you lose weight because it helps your prostate gland function better.

The Health Benefits Of Zinc and Food Sources

Helps Strengthen Bones

This type of cheese also has high calcium levels, which is a key nutrient required for optimum teeth and bone health. One ounce of this type of cheese has calcium levels of around 183-milligrams. Calcium is beneficial to the body because it helps maintain bone structure and protects tooth enamel. Tips For Stronger Bones And Teeth

Source of Protein

One of the best things about mozzarella is that it’s an outstanding source of protein. If you want a delicious way of getting protein into your system, you might want to strongly consider adding mozzarella cheese to your diet. Not only will this type of cheese help with muscle growth, but it can also help keep you energized.

Source of Phosphorous 

As you can see, there are so many different beneficial nutrients in mozzarella cheese. Another great nutrient it has a lot of is phosphorous. Phosphorous is what helps the body extract calcium from foods. It’s also needed for proper kidney functioning and optimum digestion. In addition to this, it can also facilitate brain functions as well as help fight fatigue.

Source of Potassium 

Lastly, mozzarella cheese is also rich in potassium. This nutrient helps the human body fight the adverse effects that come with sodium consumption. Besides that, potassium also helps to rectify abysmal heart rhythms and it can help lower blood pressure as well.

Conclusion 

Mozzarella cheese tastes fantastic, no doubt. However, that’s not the only thing that makes it such a great dairy product. In addition to being so delicious, it also has numerous vital nutrients. With that said, it still contains a lot of saturated fat as well so you shouldn’t eat too much of it. Dairy products should generally be taken in moderation, including mozzarella cheese.
