Foods that Nourish you on the Inside and Outside - Cottage Cheese

Dairy is good for your bones and face. But it’s the selenium in cottage cheese, not the calcium, that makes it a beneficial food. Selenium, an essential mineral, teams up with vitamin E as a powerful free radical-fighting antioxidant duo. Plus, it’ll protect against skin cancer and fight dandruff.

Cottage cheese is rich in Calcium and full of protein, important for bone density, making cottage cheese a healthy addition to your diet. It also contains riboflavin, vitamins B-12 and B-6, folate and vitamin A. Cottage cheese is a source of other minerals such as zinc, potassium, and phosphorous.
