Feb 17, 2026
Why This Supports Inflammation & Longevity
Chicken provides lean protein, supporting muscle mass — crucial for metabolic health and longevity.
Saffron contains crocin and safranal, compounds shown to reduce inflammatory markers and oxidative stress.
Aubergine provides nasunin, an anthocyanin with membrane-protective antioxidant properties.
Yoghurt offers probiotics that modulate the gut–immune interface and may reduce systemic inflammatory load.
Mint provides rosmarinic acid, which has anti-inflammatory effects.
This dish supports metabolic resilience, antioxidant defence and gut-mediated immune regulation.
