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.
