Not all cheese is bad for you \u2014 so if you\u2019re a cheese lover, make sure you choose the healthiest cheese out there: feta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheese is a delicious, savory addition to many dishes, but with the rise in popularity of processed dairy, it\u2019s become a product many people avoid when sticking to a healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from sheep or goat milk (often combined), feta cheese is a nutrient-rich option for getting the flavor you\u2019re looking for, without the guilt. Feta is easier to digest and much less allergenic and inflammatory than cheeses from cow\u2019s milk, which is encouraging to those of you who may be sensitive to dairy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most food products, it\u2019s much better raw. If you can, avoid feta cheese made from pasteurized milk products. It\u2019s important to also remember that feta cheese, high in sodium and saturated fat, should be used sparingly, and not every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-dr-axe\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"HSy2l0h4Mk\"><a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/nutrition\/feta-cheese-nutrition\/\">Feta Cheese Nutrition: Is Feta Good or Bad for You?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Feta Cheese Nutrition: Is Feta Good or Bad for You?&#8221; &#8212; Dr. Axe\" src=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/nutrition\/feta-cheese-nutrition\/embed\/#?secret=gAqi9wMOzp#?secret=HSy2l0h4Mk\" data-secret=\"HSy2l0h4Mk\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feta &#8211; The Healthiest Cheese?
