Summary

A study published in Sleep Medicine found that cheese consumption may lower the risk of sleep apnea by 28%, based on data from 400,000 participants in the UK Biobank and FinnGen Biobank.

Researchers linked cheese’s nutrients, such as calcium and protein, to improved metabolic and cardiovascular health, factors associated with sleep apnea.

Using Mendelian randomization, they identified six biomarkers influenced by cheese that may explain this relationship.

Experts caution the findings show correlation, not causation, and advise moderation in cheese consumption.

    uhh not sure if it’s just me but eating cheese before sleeping tends to give me several bizarre dreams that wakes me up thoughout the night, as this happened quite frequently I’ve stopped eating cheesy foods altogether before sleeping.
