But perhaps not everyone knows that it is also a food particularly suitable for the athlete’s diet as he explores today De Filippis in an article on the subject published in the Gazzetta dello Sport. In fact, the long maturation of Gorgonzola favors the demolition of milk proteins, which are divided into small amino acids within Gorgonzola, whose bioavailability is higher, as explained by the Dr. Emanuela Russo, dietician of the Inco (National Institute for the Treatment of Obesity) at the Irccs Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio Hospital in Milan and of the Marathon Center of Palazzo della Salute-Wellness Clinic in Milan.

In fact, these nutrients play a fundamental role in the repair of muscle tissue as a result of physical exercise, as well as in its enhancement. In addition, gorgonzola is remarkably Rich in calcium, 100 grams of this cheese contain three times as much as 100 ml of cow’s milk. This mineral is important for muscles but especially for bones, to prevent osteoporosis.
But that’s not all, as it contains precious micronutrients such as folate, vitamin A, vitamin B12, zinc and phosphorus, gorgonzola is useful for fighting mental and physical fatigue, infusing precious energy to be spent during physical exercise and in any other activity.
In the case of athletes, the daily amount of Gorgonzola can reach up to 80-100 grams, and is Especially suitable for those who practice endurance disciplines because it ensures a precious reserve of energy.
