¡Buenas noches mis queridos #Hivers! Ésta es mi participación en esta edición especial del Arcoalimentos de #HiveFood, siguiendo la convocatoria de nuestra amiga Hive account@mariale07, en donde la temática de esta semana es: “Bebidas a todo Color”.

         Good night my dear #Hivers! This is my participation in this special edition of the Arcoalimentos of #HiveFood, following the call of our friend Hive account@mariale07, where this week's theme is: "Full Color Drinks".

         My recipe has few ingredients but two of them have many properties that are beneficial for our body; It is the milky also known by the name of papaya, and milk. I chose the milky one because it is the fruit that we consume the most in the house, and because the combination with milk has a wonderful result. Next I am going to mention the properties of these ingredients.

Algunas propiedades de la lechosa:

1.Por ser una fruta carnosa, posee bastante agua lo que la convierte en un buen diurético.
2.Tiene grandes cantidades de vitamina C por lo que aumenta las defensas del organismo.
3.Favorece la formación de colágeno.
4.Al poseer un gran porcentaje de vitamina A, ayuda a mejorar la salud de la piel, las mucosas y el sistema inmunitario.
5.Posee flavonoides por lo que previene enfermedades cardiovasculares y protege de la oxidación del colesterol.
6.Contiene minerales como el calcio, el magnesio, el potasio y el fósforo, que ayudan a restaurar el equilibrio ácido-base del organismo.
7.Por ser una fruta fibrosa, mejora el estreñimiento, también ayuda a controlar la glucosa y el colesterol sanguíneo logrando que estos componentes se absorban de forma más lenta hacia la sangre.
8.Al poseer una enzima llamada papaína, ayuda a la digestión de las proteínas.

Some properties of milky:

1. Being a fleshy fruit, it has a lot of water, which makes it a good diuretic.
2. It has large amounts of vitamin C, which increases the body's defenses.
3. Promotes the formation of collagen.
4. By having a large percentage of vitamin A, it helps improve the health of the skin, mucous membranes and the immune system.

Beneficios de la leche

Benefits of milk

         Among the benefits of drinking milk is the strengthening of bones and teeth, as well as the reduction of risks of suffering from osteoporosis or weak bones when reaching adulthood.

         Milk provides the body with nutrients such as: proteins, calcium, vitamins A, B1, B2, B12 and D.

         The needs and consumption of dairy products depend on the calcium requirements, so the portions will vary according to age. In ages between 2 and 9 years, and in adults, it is recommended to consume 3 to 4 servings a day; while during the ages between 10 and 18 years, pregnancy and lactation, up to 4 servings per day should be consumed. For adults, low-fat dairy is recommended as it contains less saturated fat.

         The recipe that I am going to share with you is a delicious milkshake meringue, and it is a wonderful option for breakfast since it allows us to start the day full of energy. The amount of ingredients used is enough for a single portion, but if you want to increase it to two, just double the ingredients, or prepare them separately.
