Salty Fact - Mozzerella

Our brain's 'reward center' releases dopamine when we eat salty foods like cheese in order to encourage us to eat more of it (many addictive drugs increase dopamine activity). Dopamine makes our bodies become attracted to whatever produced it, including cheese.

Cheese is one of the hardest habits to regulate day to day. What keeps most vegetarians from going whole-hog vegan? It’s the cheese. The salty, fatty goodness that makes you salivate should you get even a tiny whiff. It’s just so good!

Well, there’s more to the story. You may, in fact, be hooked, so to speak.There is a smarter less salty choice when it comes to cheese…Mozzarella. But not just any mozzarella, the fresh mozzarella that hasn’t been processed. It will not only taste better but it will reduce the sodium almost in half!
