Vitamin B7, also called biotin, is a vital part of a healthy metabolism and creating important enzymes. Biotin is often used to strengthen hair and nails, and is also called Vitamin H (for hair). Many systems benefit from biotin including the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism and cells, said Dr. Sherry Ross, OB/GYN and Womenâs Health Expert at Providence Saint Johnâs Health Center in Santa Monica, California.
1 Place asparagus in a microwave-safe dish. Pour in wine, and dot with pieces of butter.  Cover loosely, and cook in the microwave on High for 3 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Allow the dish to stand 5 minutes before serving.
A microwave yields steamed asparagus in mere minutes, which is especially helpful on busy evenings. Simply lay trimmed asparagus in a microwave-safe dish with a tablespoon or two of lightly salted water or broth, and cover. A pound of asparagus cooks to crisp-tender in about 4 or 5 minutes at high power. To prep the asparagus for microwave cooking, snap off the woody end of each stalk, which usually measures an inch or two. Peel thick stalks to prevent them from becoming stringy when cooked. You don't need to peel pencil-thin stalks.
