Hello friends of the community, this is my entry to the first week of the Medicinal Gourmet Cooking Collective Challenge, proposed by @eco-alex. I hope you like it.

In this totally vegetarian and beneficial menu for the heart, the basic ingredients that I include are: the beet and the cocoa, the orange (vitamin c).

"The beet contains folic acid, which is perfect for preventing heart disease.
The Cocoa has a high concentration of polyphenols, which has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action in our body that helps reduce cholesterol and control blood pressure."
Vitamin "C" has the ability to relax and dilate blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and prevent heart attacks.

This is my menu starting with.
