Dairy products are an important part of any healthy diet as they are excellent sources of protein, calcium, and vitamins like D, K1 and K2. Choose organic, low fat (unless from grass-fed animals) options including:
- Buttermilk
- Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Feta
- Cottage Cheese
- Kefir
- Milk
- Ricotta
- Yogurt
Tip: Pair yogurt and almond slivers or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and apple slices for a healthy mid-day snack!

not sure, but I am confused about dairy products in my diet. so many health organizations now are saying dairy is not a good thing; that it creates mucus leading to arthritis (and cancers). I see the need for calcium, but what about these newer studies? I have been off all dairy now since Monday for this reason. Help!
We recommend you discuss this with your doctor to clarify how to incorporate dairy into your diet without negative health affects.
