A combination meal of brocolli, beef, and pork yields a high amount of B Vitamins, as well as other minerals and vitamins. Toss beef and pork strips into a heated wok or heavy skillet. Add a tiny amount of olive oil and toss to saute and brown the meats. Add broccoli florets, some red pepper slices, and a dash of low-sodium soy sauce. Continue to cook, stirring constantly. Toss in a few sliced onions and, if your calorie count allows it, a few slivered almonds. Continue to toss and cook until heated through. Serve immediately alone, over a bed of fresh baby spinach leaves, or over rice. site map	Vitamin B-6 Also known as : pyridoxine Type of vitamin : water soluble - this means that it is not stored by the body and needs to be consumed daily.
