The silicic acid contained in pumpkin strengthens skin, connective tissue and nails. In addition, the orange-colored vegetable contains plenty of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. The fat-soluble vitamin is important for healthy eyes. Chicken provides plenty of protein, dairy products provide a good portion of bone-strengthening calcium.
Leftover lasagna freezes well - so you always have a healthy meal on hand. Vegetarians either omit the chicken breast fillet altogether or replace it with a handful of coarsely chopped walnuts or hazelnuts - this adds some crunch as well as healthy fatty acids.
