3. Vegetables
• Asparagus is an excellent source of folate. Shaving uncooked
asparagus with a peeler into a salad will not only make the dish
more aesthetically pleasing, but also sneak in a vegetable rich in B
vitamin and an ally against high blood pressure.
Loaded with vitamins K, A, and C, spinach also provides a healthy
serving of manganese. Adding 1.5 cups of the leafy green vegetable
in casseroles, scrambled eggs, or smoothies can help lower the
odds of developing Type II diabetes.
Finally, broccoli is abundant in natural plant chemicals proven to
lower cancer risks. With each serving of florets providing a wealth
of vitamins K and C, broccoli can be worked into frittatas, stir-fries,
and soups.
