Get healthy red meat via Chinese cuisine: -Sino-American Economics of Human Capital for good health:

Experts agree that a diet rich in red meat can negatively impact your health. In addition to concerns about saturated fat and heart disease, research now shows that red meat is linked to an increased risk for colorectal cancer.

But moderate amounts of lean red meat up to 18 ounces per week are a welcome addition to any diet.

This simplified adaptation of a Chinese classic - beef with broccoli - is the perfect example of a beef-based meal that is tender, flavorful and follows the current recommendation for limited consumption of red meat. Each serving provides just 3 ounces of cooked tenderloin. Fresh ginger imparts a bit of kick to this dish. A distant cousin to bamboo, ginger's ancient origins can be traced to China. Garlic also spices up this recipe.

You need vitamin D as well as calcium. Antioxidant supplements work differently in different people. My recommendation is to have food with built-in vitamins.
