The ingredients in this dish provide the following benefits:

Dill: Can increase diuresis

Asparagus: Rich in carotenoids that support the immune system, also recommended for kidney patients, useful for liver function due to its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It provides folic acid, which is linked to the production of serotonin and therefore promotes a good mood and combats depression.Lemon: Rich in antioxidants: vitamin C, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which promote liver cell regeneration, immune system function, and protect the cardiovascular system. It is also recommended for kidney patients and useful for liver function due to its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This species provides folic acid, which is linked to the production of serotonin and therefore promotes a good mood and combats depression.

Tilapia: Fish provides zinc and selenium, elements that promote proper immune system function by inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins that impede proper cellular function. Tilapia is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (a cardiovascular risk factor). It supports liver function due to its zinc, selenium, and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids.

Essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and -6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain the nervous system and memory.
