Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Balsamic vinegar: it is rich in grape polyphenols which make it an antioxidant food capable of strengthening the immune system, fighting the harmful action of free radicals, but also keeping blood sugar levels under control thanks to the presence of acetic acid and reducing blood pressure.

Meat: rich in selenium that supports the immune system. To reduce the presence of potassium, boil the meat in plenty of water which is then eliminated.

Champignon mushrooms: contain vitamin C and selenium that help counteract oxidative stress and protect cells from damage, B vitamins that promote metabolism and the nervous system and beta-glucans that are favorable to the immune system and organic defenses.

Porcini mushrooms: supply of elements favorable to the proper functioning of metabolism, immune system and cardiovascular system.

Grana Padano PDO: useful for the proper functioning of the liver. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression

Salad: source of carotenoids, chlorophyll and Vitamin E that protect the immune system from harmful fatty acids and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

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

Pepper: contains piperine, a powerful antioxidant; improves insulin sensitivity by reducing cholesterol levels and activating metabolism. Recommended for people with cardiovascular problems.

Sweet raw ham deprived of visible fat, provides selenium that supports the immune system.

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.

Shallots: rich in selenium that supports the immune system and with the ability to stabilize blood glucose at normal values; carrier of quercetin, a flavonoid that helps contain cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, parameters related to cardiovascular risk, which also supports liver function by promoting the purification of the body. Also suitable for nephropathics. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression
