The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Garlic: has immune-stimulating properties, promotes liver function and the elimination of waste metabolites. It also has hypocholesterolemic, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, hypotensive and hypoglycemic properties that promote cardiac function.

Egg white: free of fat and cholesterol, it is useful in case of high cholesterol and gallstones and suitable for high-protein diets.

Broccoli: rich in mineral salts, vitamins C, B1, B2 and carotenoids that support the immune system and act to protect the cardiovascular system. Suitable in cases of chronic constipation due to the richness of vegetable fibers. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Turkey meat: lean white meats are selenium carriers that support the immune system and free of saturated fats that do not compromise the functionality of the liver and circulatory system

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids

Chili pepper: rich in vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence that fights free radicals and supports the immune system, reduces blood cholesterol indexes and hinders its formation on the arteries. It contains vitamins A, D and E and is very effective in activating the venous and capillary circulation.

Salt: essential for the balance of body fluids and for the transmission of nerve impulses, it is however to be consumed respecting the limit of 5 g per day according to the indications of the WHO so as not to promote arterial hypertension and consequent increase in the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases starting from myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke; to be limited as much as possible in the case of nephropathy.
