US experts have concluded that cheese consumed by humans can withstand the harmful effects of salt, as well as reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania conducted a scientific experiment that determined that eating cheese regularly helps people maintain normal blood pressure and maintain a healthy cardiovascular system..

Volunteers were invited to participate in the experiment.. They were asked to divide into four groups. The first group consisted of participants who ate little salt and did not consume dairy products at all. The second group consisted of participants who also ate a little salt, but ate enough cheese (about 170 grams). The third group included people who consumed large amounts of salt but refused dairy products..

And the fourth - made up of lovers of salt and cheese (up to 85 gamma per day).

At the end of the study, the state of the vessels was checked in the participants..

The participants from the first group revealed the greatest deviations of the state of the vessels. Those who ate cheese, even in slightly lower doses, were in satisfactory condition of the vessels.

Experts suggest that such an effect on the vessels of the cheese may be associated with the content of antioxidants in it..
