Interesting Health Benefits of Asparagus

Hey, guys, listen, I want to talk about Asparagus, this is an amazing vegetable, it has a lot of nutritional benefits, let's just go through them. Number One: it's a pre-biotic. What does that mean, a pre-biotic? It's a fiber that doesn't break down until you hit the large intestines. And the microbes down there basically live off this fiber and you build up your friendly bacteria. OK, and that's number 1. Number Two: it's extremely high in vitamin K, Folate, which is a B vitamin, B1, tons of B1, B2, 3, 5 and 6. So it has a lot of B vitamins and that's good for stress, that's good for energy, and that's good just for calming your nervous system down. And then it's very, very high on phosphorus, so, in the ancient times, the Romans used to consume asparagus for phosphorus, to improve their energy. So it's a real good way to improve your energy. It's a diuretic, so it actually gets rid of excess of fluid because it's a mild kidney detoxifier. Now, sometimes when you consume asparagus, probably most times, you have this bad smell, that's sulfur compounds being detoxified from the kidney, so it's definitely good. It's low in sodium, high in potassium, so it's gonna push fluid out. Kidney stones, great for protecting you against kidney stones and even dissolving kidney stones because this vegetable is really kidney supportive. And then it's high in chromium. Now, chromium is the mineral that actually helps insulin resistance, so it makes insulin more sensitive to go through the cell and regulate glucose, so it's great for diabetics, good for hypoglycemic people and definitely for insulin resistance. So overall, I think it's a wonderful vegetable that you should consume on a regular basis, so go ahead and do it and I will see you in the next video.
