In recent years, gluten has become a topic of great interest, both for those who suffer from disorders related to its consumption and for those who choose to avoid it for reasons of general well-being.

Among the winter fruits of the Mediterranean tradition, we cannot forget oranges. Succulent, sweet, versatile, many qualities that have made them the queens of the table, and often of the main after-meals, of Italian tables. The orange tree, or Citrus sinensis, is a member of the Rutacea family, a family of plants that mainly originate from what is now China and spread thanks to merchants and their ability to proliferate in the Mediterranean climate, even in our country.

The daily routine of our times, divided between work, commuting in traffic and family commitments, all too often leads to eating dinner very late. However, eating after 11pm can have significant effects on health.

The main symptoms include: difficulty evacuating or infrequent evacuations (less than three times a week), hard or dry stools, feeling of incomplete evacuation, bloating or abdominal discomfort. An adequate diet is essential to stimulate intestinal activity. Here are the basic principles[Segue]

The return to routine after the Christmas festivities can be a cause of stress; during the holiday period, in fact, one allows oneself proper rest along with a more ‘permissive’ diet and some excesses at the table. Larger portions and a few deviations from the rule are perfectly normal, except that approaching food in the first days of the New Year with a particularly strict and restrictive attitude (e.g. skipping meals) can prove not only unhelpful but even counterproductive. Eating regularly will in fact help you maintain stable energy levels and prevent cravings for unhealthy foods.  Returning to a balanced diet without following[Segue]

Often, this plant, which belongs to the Fabaceae or Leguminosae family, is prepared on this occasion and then re-proposed 365 days later at the same event, forgetting the many organic qualities of this product of our tradition.  What do we risk losing by forgetting them in the larder for a year?
