Asparagus
Asparagus is a great dish to have baked, grilled, or sauteed, and is a versatile vegetable that can be used in many different dishes. It is loaded with fiber and tons of vitamins! Vitamins A, E, C, and K, specifically. Asparagus has been studied and found to be a great vegetable to improve proper digestive functioning and has been found to increase insulin levels, reduce the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), and also protects against diabetes and heart disease.
Quinoa
If you haven’t already jumped aboard the quinoa train, it’s time to join the party! Quinoa tastes great as a dish cooked on its own or as a tasty addition to cold salads. Since quinoa has nearly double the amount of fiber as other grains, it’s a great choice for feeling full for longer and aiding in any weight loss. Quinoa has high amounts of antioxidants, minerals, and many essential amino acids. Moderate consumption can improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels, reduces the risk of developing hypertension, and is an excellent addition to your diet if you want to maintain your overall heart health.
