  Alice's comment - PersonalCooker

  After a few hours of rest in the cool, the laxative cake is ready to fulfill its role as a good adjuvant in intestinal regularization. But be careful with the doses: one slice a day, better if eaten in the morning, is enough for an optimal balance. Also try the recipe for laxative biscuits and kiwi jellies: a real panacea for the lazy intestine.

  Nutritional values ​​and Health Comment on the recipe

  The laxative cake is a sweet useful for restoring intestinal transit in case of constipation. The quantity of dietary fiber contained in 2 slices of laxative cake corresponds to about 1/4 or 1/5 of the daily requirement, therefore, appropriately contextualized, it could facilitate the significant remission of related symptoms. Be careful though! The laxative cake, despite being rich in fiber, is not a suitable food for weight reduction, as it brings considerable amounts of fat deriving from cheeses which greatly increase the total calories of the food.
