Grass Fed Beef Meatballs served with Marinara, Charred Broccoli and Walnut Arugula Pesto (ancestral blend) is a dish rich in Iron, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin K. Iron is of significance due to its ability to support red blood cell proliferation and improve oxygenation to the developing fetus. Additionally, reducing the risk of low red blood cells is of priority. Vitamin B12 supports the health of the nervous system in the mother; for the infant, Vitamin B12 helps to prevent spina bifida and other central nervous system deficits. For mothers who experience malabsorptive conditions, supplementing Vitamin K is advisable as this is a fat soluble vitamin that remains of importance. For infants, Vitamin K is of such significance, that Vitamin K is administered at birth to prevent bleeding in newborns and infants. Of note, although Vitamin K is able to be consumed and Vitamin K supplements can slightly increase the levels of vitamin K in breast milk, neither can increase levels in breast milk enough to provide all of the Vitamin K an infant needs. Overall, this recipe is rich with essential nutrients needed to optimize both mother and infant nutritional status.
