On bread, out of the oven or on pizza – cheese belongs everywhere. Despite its unhealthy reputation, there is at least one cheese that is the healthiest.
Cheese is a popular product as a topping on bread or to bake dishes in the oven. However, according to nutritional guides, the animal product cheese is anything but healthy. But at least the German Nutrition Society (DGE) still recommends that dairy products (including cheese) are part of a healthy diet. You should just keep the amount as small as possible. Based on nutrient content, studies and numerous nutritional guides, HEIDELBERG24 has compiled a list of the healthiest cheeses.
It’s best to enjoy cheese in moderation
In addition to elementary nutrients such as protein and fat, cheese also provides important minerals and vitamins. Proteins, calcium and B vitamins are integral components of the dairy product. The calcium in cheese gives bones and teeth stability, is involved in blood clotting, keeps cell walls stable and ensures smooth transmission of stimuli in the nervous system and muscles.
What are the benefits of matcha tea?
2024-02-25 10:02:36
Matcha tea, a jewel of Japanese culture, has risen to the rank of superfood, renowned for its so-called exceptional antioxidant properties.
How to prepare this comforting drink? Can we enjoy it every day? Overview.
A powder concocted by a precise ritual
Matcha is a fine powder of premium green tea, traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Cultivated with care, the tea is shaded a few weeks before harvest to promote the production of amino acids and catechins. The young leaves, called “tencha”, are then dried, ground slowly with a stone grinder, to give rise to matcha powder, a light green color that has become emblematic.
Matcha tea, the star of social networks
Matcha tea, a tradition dating back almost eight centuries in Asia, has captured the hearts of the French in recent years, becoming one of the most popular drinks for its multiple health benefits. Often adorned with the hashtag “healthy” on social networks, it has established itself as an essential superfood. It can be enjoyed in the form of a latte, thus softening its slight herbaceous taste, or integrated into sweet preparations such as muffins, cookies or madeleines.

The last orphan to have received a positive opinion from the EMA technical committee has been Zynyz (retifanlimab), from Incyte, for the treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma.
Regarding the section of non-orphan drugs, there are two vaccines intended for active immunization against the H5N1 subtype of the influenza A virus.
A Billion Dollar Gift: Bronx Medical Students Receive Free Tuition
Medical students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx received some exciting news that will impact their future careers. Dr. Ruth L. Gottesman, Ed.D., chair of the Einstein Board of Trustees and member of the board of directors of Montefiore Health System, made a historic $1 billion donation to the institution. This gift, believed to be the largest donation ever made to a medical school in the United States, will ensure that all future students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine will study tuition-free.
Dr. Philip Ozuah, president and CEO of Montefiore Einstein, announced this groundbreaking donation on Monday, explaining that the funds will refund the spring 2024 semester tuition for current fourth-year students. Furthermore, starting in August of this year, all advancing students will also receive free tuition.
This generous gift is expected to attract a diverse and talented group of students who may not have had the means to pursue a medical education due to financial constraints. It will allow future healthcare leaders to focus on their studies and research without the burden of crippling student loan debt.

Unanswered Questions: The Connection Between Weight Loss Medications and Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders and Weight Loss Medications
Researchers have raised concerns about the potential impact of popular weight loss medications on individuals with eating disorders. The lack of studies in this area has left many unanswered questions and could have serious consequences for those affected.
- GLP-1 Agonists for Weight Loss: Semaglutide, a medication originally prescribed for diabetes, has gained popularity as a weight loss treatment. However, experts worry about the potential effects of these medications on eating disorders.
- The Concerns: Dr. Aaron Keshen noted an increase in individuals with new or worsening eating disorder symptoms after being prescribed GLP-1 agonists. Eating disorders affect nearly 1 in 10 people in the United States and have a high crude mortality rate among mental illnesses.
- Lack of Research: Dr. Susan McElroy emphasizes that research on the connection between eating disorders and weight loss medications is limited. More studies are needed to provide clarity and guidance in prescribing these medications.
The Complexity of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are complex biopsychosocial illnesses that can be triggered by various factors, including restricted food intake, weight loss, and societal pressures related to body image. Health care providers must screen patients for a history or vulnerability to an eating disorder before prescribing weight loss medications.
NASAs DART Mission Successfully Changes Asteroids Shape in Groundbreaking Planetary Defense Experiment
In 2022, when NASA’s $325 million spacecraft crashed into an asteroid called Dimorphos at 14,000 miles per hour, cheers and applause erupted back on Earth.
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection (DART) mission deliberately targeted Dimorphos to change its orbit around a larger asteroid, Didymos, as a suit exercise to thwart a deadly space rock that might one day be headed for Earth.
The world’s first planetary defense experiment was deemed a success: the asteroid’s orbit shrank for 33 minutes, well above the minimum threshold of 73 seconds.
However, what the DART team didn’t realize at the time was how strangely Dimorphos responded to the hit. The new study, published Monday in Nature Astronomy, concludes that DART hit Dimorphos so hard that the asteroid changed shape.
Impact simulations show that the spacecraft’s demise did not excavate the usual bowl-shaped crater. Instead, it leaves something that resembles an indentation. And although the artificial impact blasted millions of tons of rock into space, much of it splashed back over the side like a giant tidal wave. This expands the Dimorphos, turning it from a short-shaped ball into a flat-topped oval — like an M&M candy.
The fact that asteroids act like liquids depends on their strange composition.
Is it really effective to eat almonds for weight loss? Nutritionist Jean-Michel Cohen steps up to the plate
Almonds are often recommended as healthy snacks when hunger begins to set in. They are very beneficial for health, because they naturally provide protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals essential that contribute to the proper functioning of our body.
