Asparagus
Asparagus is a high in antioxidants, Vitamin K (decreases dark circles, increases bone mass among other things) and Folate.
It helps with the prevention of hair loss, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), high blood pressure, fatigue, toothaches (who knew?), kidney stones, and even prevents some cancers(especially lung cancer).
Asparagus is great for women in particular. It helps with menstrual cramps, nursing mothers for helping with milk production, and because it is high in Folate/Folic Acid, it can help prevent birth defects like Spina Bifida (incompletely formed spinal chord).
Asparagus isn’t known for being the cheapest veggie out there, but if you ask me, it’s definitely worth the cost for all of the benefits it provides for your body.
How to eat Asparagus? I recommend either baking or steaming this to get the most out of it’s nutrients.
