1. Promotes A Healthy Pregnancy

Asparagus contains a significant amount of folate which decreases the risk of neural-tube defects in fetuses. B12, vitamin C, and folate work together to aid the body in breaking down, using, and creating new proteins. (1)

2. Helps Combat Cancer

Asparagus contains a nutrient called glutathione that can destroy carcinogens. Glutathione plays a crucial role in immune function and can help protect against certain cancers.

3. Fights Inflammation

The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients in asparagus can help reduce common health problems such as heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Glutathione is believed to slow the aging process and fight free radicals, as well as protecting your skin from sun damage and environmental effects. (2, 3)

4. Improves Digestive Health

Asparagus contains certain nutrients that aren’t broken down and passes undigested into the large intestines, where it then becomes a valuable food source. It can help reduce gas and bloating due to its high anti-inflammatory nutrients. (4)

5. Aids Wound Healing & Maintaining Bone Health

The high amounts of vitamin K found in asparagus can increase bone mineral density in osteoporotic people and reduce fracture rates. Plus, it supports heart health by preventing the hardening of the arteries. (5)

6. Natural Diuretic

One thing little known about asparagus is that it actually promotes the production of urine. This can help remove excess salt and fluids from the body.

7. Boosts Mood

Researchers have found a connection between low levels of folate and vitamin B in people who are suffering from depression. Asparagus’ high amounts of vitamin B and folate can, therefore, help elevate your mood and ward off irritability.  (6)
