To make the most of fall—with days getting shorter and sports activities resuming—it’s important to recharge your energy. In these situations, choosing the right foods can be a valuable ally for both adults and kids. Physical activity should always be paired with a healthy, varied, and balanced diet, and cheese can be an excellent source of calcium and protein.
In the case of Gorgonzola Pdo, its high-biological-value proteins and numerous micronutrients—such as vitamins A and B12, folate, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc—help reduce tiredness and fatigue. In particular, Gorgonzola Pdo is rich in bioavailable calcium, which contributes to normal muscular function and the preservation of healthy bones, since it contains up to three times more calcium than 100 ml of cow’s milk.
But that’s not all. Gorgonzola Pdo is also a probiotic food, made from pasteurized whole milk, which can help maintain the proper balance of the gut microbiota—that is, the collection of microorganisms that make up the gut flora.
As for calorie intake, 100 g of Gorgonzola Pdo has total fat (19 g) and sodium (1.5 g) levels that are entirely in line with—and in some cases lower than—those of other cheeses. When consumed in moderation, Gorgonzola Pdo is therefore an ideal addition to an athlete’s diet, as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
