ASPARAGUS AS A HEALING FOOD
• 2 min. read
Asparagus is a fantastic medicinal vegetable, high in essential minerals such as selenium, zinc and manganese, which are vital for a strong and healthy immune system. They are also high in vitamins A, K and B-complex , including folic acid , which is a building block for a healthy cardiovascular system and is recommended for women trying to conceive.
Asparagus contains aspartic acid, an amino acid that neutralizes excess amounts of ammonia in the body. This ammonia is often the cause of exhaustion, headaches and indigestion. Asparagus contains significant amounts of healthy fiber and protein, which help maintain blood sugar levels, prevent constipation, stabilize digestion and stop the urge to overeat.
They also contain a compound called asparagine. It is a natural diuretic that breaks down oxalic and uric acid crystals stored in the muscles and kidneys and eliminates them through the urine. This natural diuretic is helpful in reducing water retention, bloating and body swelling. Asparagus is also high in glutathione , which is a powerful antioxidant and is especially beneficial for those suffering from autoimmune diseases, liver disease, heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
They are known to help strengthen the liver, kidneys, skin, ligaments and bones, and their chlorophyll content makes them a great blood builder. Asparagus also contains inulin, which promotes good bacteria in the gut, which enhances nutrient absorption and helps keep the immune system functioning properly. Asparagus is a nutrient-dense, delicious vegetable that can be eaten raw or steamed and added to soups, salads, stews, rice and/or vegetable dishes.
