The science behind beef and quinoa

牛肉中所蕴含的不饱和脂肪酸以及橄榄油中的油酸还将帮助你维持细胞的健康活力并且抵御外来病菌的侵害。

Post workout, your muscles are under high-stress and toxins are released in your body. As you sleep, your body starts to repair these muscles and requires amino acids, a basic type of protein. This is where the beef and quinoa in this recipe come into play. Unsaturated fatty acid from the beef and oleic acid in the olive oil help to strengthen your cell walls and fight off free radicals and toxins.

Veggies clean your body

Leafy greens and colored vegetables pack a punch in vitamins and minerals that help to clean up the toxins released by fatigued muscles. These are also essential for your overall well-being.
