Steak, Asparagus, and Potatoes: Some Healthy Bits!

*Tasty Recipe Tuesday*

Asparagus is one of those nutrient-packed vegetables that is just so delicious! It is a good source of fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, E, and K. Asparagus also has antioxidants that can neutralize cell-damaging free radicals and slow down the aging process. Lastly, it is a natural diuretic due to high levels of the amino acid asparagine.

Red potatoes are loaded with fiber, B vitamins, iron, and potassium. Just a fun fact, half of the fiber of a potato comes from the skin! Red potatoes can also help with blood pressure and weight loss.

Red meats such as beef are one of those foods that should be eaten in moderation (no more than twice a week). However, they are an excellent source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
