Lertola method: the February diet based on bitter vegetables

The focus of this month's diet is on sprouts of catalonia chicory or chicory, which have interesting properties for our organism.

«They contain bitter substances that improve digestion, water that stimulates diuresis, fibers that help the intestine work and slow down the absorption of fats and sugars ”, explains Dr. Maria Paola Dall'Erta, biologist-chef.

«They supply then vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, iron. And they have very few calories ». They are the ideal ingredient for one purifying, balanced and healthy diet, like the one developed by Dr. Carla Lertola's team.



«Puntarelle keep their properties at their best when eaten raw, in salads. But to entice you to bring them to the table we have often thought of offering them also for the preparation of risotto », says our dietician, who has always recommended the consumption of seasonal products.
