Dairy products are often considered high in calories and cholesterol, but dairy products are also known to be good sources of calcium, vitamin D and protein, which are very important and protect against osteoporosis and muscle weakness, according to the “Verywell health” website.

Some may be puzzled as to how to simultaneously obtain the important nutrients in dairy products and prevent high cholesterol levels.
Dairy products and cholesterol
Whole cow’s milk contains about 160 calories and 5 grams of saturated fat, along with 35 milligrams of cholesterol, in one cup.
Milk is a great source of protein and nutrients. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals, and provides a third of the recommended daily intake of calcium. Cow’s milk also contains potassium, which may help avoid high blood pressure by flushing sodium out of the body.
Despite its many health benefits, whole cow’s milk contains more calories, fat and cholesterol than any other form of milk.
Thus, dairy products made from soy, almond, rice and coconut milk should be chosen as plant sources that are low in cholesterol and calories instead of cow’s milk, and skim milk can also be chosen.
Knowing that there are some people who must eat full-fat dairy products, as they are in periods of growth and development, and they are pregnant women whose fetuses need these nutrients and children over the age of two and adolescents whose bodies need protein, calcium and vitamin D.
