Eating enough protein is one of the important ways to help the body stay healthy. Protein participates in creating enzymes to support digestion, transport oxygen in the blood, regulate hormones, and help build and restore tissues.
Protein is made up of amino acids - "bricks" that create muscle, cartilage, hair, nails and skin. Depending on the needs, the body can combine or break down these amino acids for effective use.
Another benefit of protein, especially in the evening, is that it takes longer to digest than carbohydrates. As a result, eating protein-rich foods helps you feel full longer than carbohydrate-rich foods such as bread, french fries or processed foods.
Fresh cheese is still a nutritious snack, helping to feel full longer and suitable for use before bed. Some studies show that eating 20-40 grams of casein protein (the main protein in fresh cheese) about 30 minutes before bed can support muscle recovery and increase muscle strength.
In addition, fresh cheese has a soft texture, easy to combine with fruits, nuts and many other nutritious foods. This dish is almost unprocessed, easy to preserve and is readily available by portion. You can also choose non-fat, low-fat or whole-fat types depending on your needs.
