Like many of you, I love Asparagus. Whether steamed, sautéed in garlic, or grilled, these nutrient-rich vegetables go great with fish and steak and can even be great in an omelet. Asparagus is full of prebiotics, which help you keep your gut healthy. The prebiotic nutrient inulin that is in the plant is not digestible by us however, the gut bacteria will greatly benefit as they feed on the fiber. Inulin is known to reduce levels of inflammation in the body and ultimately better health. Inflammation is the reason behind many types of diseases. The vegetable can help your vision as it contains both lutein and zeaxanthin, which improve the health of the macula in your retina. A healthy macula is essential for sharp vision and colors in front of you. Vitamin K is another benefit of asparagus as it is important for clotting factors and the proteins that are needed for clotting of the blood. I came across this blog that offered some information regarding the benefits of asparagus as well as recipes you can make at home. Check out the article below. How Healthy Is Asparagus?
