Also indicated for nephropathic patients, it is a good diuretic that prevents kidney stones. It provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Beans: A source of zinc and factors favourable to the proper functioning of the immune system and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants, it acts to protect the cardiovascular system. Also suitable for nephropathics. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants, Especially if consumed with the peel they provide folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

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

Rosemary: rich in principles favorable to kidney function (stimulate diuresis), the cardiovascular system by promoting sweating and liver function by promoting bile secretion.

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.
