The BALANCED PLATE represents a well- balanced and healthy meal that satisfies you, keeps your body healthy and prevents many of the diseases that affect Western people.

VEGETABLES AND FRUITS are a major source of protective substances – antioxidants with anti-inflammatory action, fibers, minerals and vitamins – which allow our metabolism to work properly.
