Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

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

Flour: provides B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and folate), which are important for energy metabolism and the functioning of the nervous system.

Prawns: they provide zinc and selenium, elements that promote the proper functioning of the immune system by hindering the formation of prostaglandins that prevent good cellular functioning and has a high content of omega 3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (cardiovascular risk factor). Useful for liver function due to the supply of zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory

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

Bread: cereals stimulate the synthesis of serotonin which counteracts depression and promotes good mood

Pepper (green, pink, black, gray, white): contains piperine, a powerful antioxidant; it improves insulin sensitivity by reducing cholesterol levels and activating metabolism. Recommended for people with cardiovascular problems.

Peas: rich in vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence that fights free radicals and supports the immune system, and provide mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. Especially if consumed with the peel, it provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract the depressed

Cooked ham deprived of visible fat, provides selenium which supports the immune system.

Sake: with moderate consumption, alcohol has a favorable action on the functionality of the cardio-vascular system and on mood, reducing stress and anxiety.

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.

Soy sauce: rich in antioxidants, essential amino acids, vegetable proteins, vitamins and minerals, which can promote cardiovascular function, counteract inflammation, support low-calorie diets and can also replace salt.

Spinach: rich in carotenoids that support the immune system and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients; useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. They provide folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression
