As mentioned previously this is a key source of calcium and protein in a person's diet, however many of the products in this section can be high in fat content so it's advised to do the following. Use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk and drink up to one pint a day, try to avoid hard cream cheeses and instead use cottage cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese can flavour a meal without adding excessive amounts of fat to the dish. Finally, it's worth mentioning that some people are Lactose intolerant or have a serious allergy to dairy products. It is necessary to label foods containing dairy so consumers are aware that food contains something they are allergic to. The reaction can be quick and very painful so you need to be careful if planning a diet for someone with Lactose intolerance.
Dairy Products: Benefits and Considerations
Importance of Dairy in the Diet
As mentioned previously, dairy products are a crucial source of calcium and protein in a person's diet.
Guidelines for Healthy Consumption
To manage fat intake, consider the following tips:
- Use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk and limit consumption to one pint per day.
- Opt for cottage cheese over hard cream cheeses.
- Use Parmesan cheese sparingly for flavour without excessive fat.
Considerations for Lactose Intolerance and Allergies
It's important to note that some individuals are lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy products. Proper labelling of dairy-containing foods is necessary to inform consumers:
- Ensure foods containing dairy are clearly labelled.
- Immediate reactions in sensitive individuals can be severe, necessitating careful dietary planning.
