Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Oranges: provide flavonoids (Vit. P), antioxidants that enhance the action of Vit. C in favor of the immune and cardiovascular systems: also indicated 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

Butter: source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) favorable to the health of the eyes, mucous membranes, bones, immune system and blood clotting.

Dark chocolate: (at least 70% cocoa): it supports the functionality of the immune system and in particular stimulates the production of T lymphocytes, which act against infections, as well as being rich in ingredients (serotonin, endorphins and diphenyldantoin) which are antidepressants, support mood and inhibit pain.

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

Fructose: has a glycemic index (19-23) lower than sugar (sucrose 68, glucose 100); it provides 370 calories per 100 grams.

Low-fat milk: provides vitamins, minerals and antioxidants promoting metabolism, cardiovascular function, tooth and bone health. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression.

Cornstarch: excellent long-term source of energy thanks to the slow release of glucose into the blood

Margarines: especially the versions enriched with omega-3 and plant sterols help reduce total blood cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health.

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.

Egg: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids. Rich in Vitamin D that fights mood disorders
