This recipe is designed to target Epigenetic maintenance and vascular elasticity. Unlike standard seafood dishes, this focuses on Mussels, one of the most potent sources of Betaine (a methyl donor crucial for DNA regulation) and Vitamin B12. The broth is infused with Saffron, known for its neuroprotective Crocin, and Blood Oranges, which provide Hesperidin to support microcirculation and skin glow. Steamed with Fennel for digestion and modulation of inflammation, this dish is a light yet nutrient-dense intervention for aging markers.
