Food as medicine highlight

Grass-fed beef: Grass-fed beef is nutrient-dense providing B-vitamins, zinc, iron, beta-carotene, and vitamin E! Grass-fed beef also provides anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), and has a more balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats when compared to conventionally raised beef (i.e. grain-fed).

Bell peppers: Bell peppers are a great source of vitamin C supporting both the adrenals and immune system. Bell peppers also contain potassium, folate, vitamin B6, and carotenoids. I LOVE slicing bell peppers for a snack, but nothing beats roasting them to really bring out their flavor!
