​Asparagus is a spear shaped vegetable that is well known for its health benefits and abilities to prevent disease and signs of early aging. It is an excellent vegetable for its detoxifying, anti-aging, cancer-fighting, anti-inflammatory properties as well as many others. Asparagus is a nutritional vegetable that is worth adding into any diet. 
 
Asparagus is rich in potassium, which has been found to aid in the body in lowering stomach fat. It is also high in fiber. Fiber is necessary to clean the system since it attaches to bile acids and stimulates bowel movements. The vegetable has zero cholesterol, fat or sodium and is very low in calories. It is a highly recommended vegetable for detoxifying the system.

​Aside from potassium, asparagus is also high in folate, vitamin A and glutathione. All these properties are known for their ability to prevent early signs of aging. Glutathione is an amino acid that has plenty of antioxidant value and is ideal for preventing aging. It works particularly well because it prevents free radicals and toxins from destroying cells.
 
The abundance of folate in asparagus helps with numerous ailments. High folate content offers protection against various types of cancer. Folate also acts as an anti-inflammatory and can relieve inflammation and pain. The risk of heart disease is reduced when folate consumption is regular. Folate benefits pregnant women as well by preventing birth defects from occurring. Birth defects are often a cause of folate deficiency. 
 
Asparagus has vitamin K content that promotes and maintains healthy bones. The vitamin has been found to deter osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Asparagus is one of the best sources for consuming vitamin K. Other nutritional perks of asparagus include the ability to deter and aid with kidney stones and urinary tract infections.
 
Inulin is a beneficial bacteria that is found in asparagus. This bacteria, that habitats in the large intestine, maintains a healthy digestive system and stops yeast from overgrowing. The vegetable is even considered an aphrodisiac, though this is often thought to be due to its shape that is said to trigger a physiological reaction in the mind.  Some say that asparagus increases libido. 
 
Asparagus’ size can vary from thin to thick. The best way to prepare asparagus for cooking is lightly steamed or roasted, though grilled asparagus is also a healthy option. The best way to receive the health benefits from asparagus is to consume it raw and organic.
