Is it good for your health to eat one slice of cheese every day?

In general, eating one slice of cheese per day is beneficial for most people, but suitability depends on individual health conditions. Those with high cholesterol or lactose intolerance, for example, should avoid it. For healthy individuals, consuming one slice of cheese daily provides high-quality protein, calcium, and vitamin D, supporting bone health and muscle repair. Cheese undergoes fermentation, during which some lactose is converted into lactic acid, making it easier for the body to digest and absorb.
