In an increasingly depressing news cycle, finally we have some good news – and it’s about cheese.
A study conducted by Penn State has found that certain antioxidants in cheese could help protect your blood vessels. The benefits are specifically found in adults who have a high-sodium diet, whose blood vessels have been damaged as a result.
Billie Alba, who led the study, said: “While there’s a big push to reduce dietary sodium, for a lot of people it’s difficult.
