ASPARAGUS
Asparagus is one of the most nutritionally balanced veggies you can eat. It is an excellent source of vitamins A,C, K and many B vitamins.
Just one five ounce serving can provide more than 60% of the recommended daily allowance of folic acid, 11% of daily fiber and about 10 % of the recommended amount of daily protein.
Not to mention a good selection of minerals including potassium, copper, manganese, iron and zinc.
These health benefits provide a number of unique advantages for women; antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds to help fight many forms of cancer; healthy bacteria for the digestive system and immune boosting properties for common health ailments.
Here are the Main Health Benefits of Asparagus..
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Asparagus is chock full of nutrients that provide anti-inflammatory properties. These properties include rutin, flavonids, isorhamnetin, saponins, quercentin, and laempferol, which can all help with common ailments such as asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune conditions. Asparagus’s anti-inflammatory effects can also help with water retention, PMS, and menstrual cramps.
A Great Source of Antioxidants
Asparagus contains a compound known as glutathione, which is actually comprised of three different amino acids. These acids are known as cysteine, glycine, and glumatic acid. When these acids combine they make one powerful antioxidant that can provide super benefits to the body, particularly protecting against, and even reversing, free-radical damage and subsequent age related conditions.
Asparagus contains vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene), selenium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C, which when combined with the glutathione provides exceptional protection against free radicals.
A Cancer Fighter
Oxidation of the cells in the body along with chronic inflammation can be linked to many types of cancer. The dense antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds found in asparagus can alter metabolic activity in the body’s cells and ultimately help to prevent them becoming cancerous.
Good for Heart Health
Asparagus is packed with complex B vitamins, most specifically Folate, which has been shown to provide many benefits for the cardiovascular system. Folate helps with transforming norepinephrine to adrenaline and serotonin to melatonin.
The B vitamins also help with allowing the body to properly metabolize starches and sugars which subsequently help to regulate homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid and high levels of it in the blood are an indicator of heart disease.
Just one cup of asparagus provides us with approximately 3 grams of fiber – One third being soluble fiber. It has been consistently shown that increasing the amount of soluble fiber you eat reduces the risk of heart disease.
Can Help Lower the Risk of Spina Bifida in Pregnant Women
Folate or folic acid, is responsible for managing the proper division of cells. Increased consumption of folic acid rich foods in the months before child birth and even before conception has been shown to help protect against a serious condition known as spina bifida.
Asparagus is a particularly rich source of folic acid. Just 1 cup or approximately 180 grams of asparagus contains around 66% of your daily recommended intake.
Eating healthy foods like asparagus that are rich in folic acid and other vital nutrients is particularly beneficial to pregnant women. As well as an overall health boost, it means they do not need to take extra supplements to make up for any nutrient deficiency.
Assists with Diet and Digestion
Asparagus contains a protein known as inulin, a unique carbohydrate that promotes the growth of two types of healthy bacteria – Lactobacilli, and Bifidobacteria.
These bacteria are necessary for preventing harmful bacteria from taking over the intestinal tract. They encouraging proper nutrient absorption and can help in lowering the risk of colon cancer.
As well as benefiting from valuable inulin, asparagus has a particularly good amount of fiber and protein. Both fiber and protein help stabilize the digestive system by keeping food moving through us at the desired rate.
Asparagus has a long history of treating digestive problems in early and alternative medicine and its unique combination of nutrients make it a desired food source for our diets.
An Excellent Source of Vitamin K
This tasty veggie provides more than one hundred and fourteen percent of the recommend daily allowance of vitamin K with just a one cup serving.
Vitamin K plays a major role in the synthesis of osteocalcin which is a type of protein that builds strong bones. Vitamin K also helps to prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis due to calcium build up in tissues.
Immune Boosting Vitamin C
As touched upon earlier, vitamin C is a powerful type of antioxidant, and asparagus has more than thirty percent of the recommended daily allowance.
Vitamin C can help build a strong immune system to help fight off many common ailments such as colds and viruses, lower blood pressure, and ward off eye conditions that come with aging such as mascular degeneration and cataracts.
