__Cream:__ This may surprise you. However, the cream contains easily digestible fats, many vitamins and minerals, and complex proteins in its composition to help normalize cholesterol metabolism. In addition, you won't drink cream by the glass: usually, a spoonful or two is added to coffee or to a sauce when cooking. Therefore, you get the benefit while not consuming too many calories. __Sour cream__: It is high in calories, but can be good for digestion. Sourdough contributes to the assimilation of protein, the product itself makes any dish more nourishing, and the lactic bacteria help the intestines by stimulating its work and balancing microflora. __Cottage cheese__: Whether soft or grainy, cottage cheese helps the synthesis of serotonin. It also reduces "bad" cholesterol and appetite because it contains a lot of protein, which the body expends energy to digest. The high amount of calcium in the curd can help prevent the development of tooth decay, arthritis, and osteoporosis. The magnesium in the product maintains normal blood sugar levels. It is best to choose cottage cheese with a medium fat content of 4–5 %. __Natural yogurt:__ Natural yogurt without sugar is rich in vitamins B2 and B12. Regular consumption protects the mucous membrane of the stomach and prevents the development of gastrointestinal diseases. Quality yogurts are rich in phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, which are involved in almost all metabolic processes in the body and are especially important for chronic fatigue and stress. Yogurt can help those trying to lose weight because 3 daily servings meet the daily requirements for protein and fat intake. __Hard cheese__: This is a perfect source of protein and healthy fat. In addition to calcium, cheese contains substances that help maintain a healthy level of hemoglobin in the blood. Because of its protein content, cheese helps to actively build muscle mass for those who work out in the gym. Also, hard cheeses can lift your mood: they contain the amino acid tryptophan, which stimulates the synthesis of serotonin. Just remember: cheese is very caloric, with 300 calories per 100 grams or even more. Avoid eating it in large quantities, and instead, add it to dishes. Aim to eat no more than 1.5 ounces per day.
