6.  Cheese

Cheese is incredibly nutritious. It is a super source of calcium, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and many other nutrients that the body needs. Cheese is also rich in protein with one thick slice of hard cheese containing almost seven grams of protein. Like other full-fat dairy products, cheese has potent fatty acids that have numerous health benefits, including reducing your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

When we talk about cheese, we are referring to hard cheeses such as cheddar —  not the junky “American” cheese slices that try to pass themselves off as being real cheese.
