ASPERAGUS is also called natures Viagra!
You may want to consider adding asparagus to your next date
night menu: the veggie is a natural aphrodisiac thanks to vitamin B6 and
folate, which can help boost feelings of arousal. Plus, vitamin E that stimulates
sex hormones, including estrogen in women and testosterone in men...(oya lets go! Lol)
It contains high levels of the amino acid asparagine, which
serves as a natural diuretic, and increased urination not only releases fluid
but helps rid the body of excess salts. This is especially beneficial for
people who suffer from edema (an accumulation of fluids in the body's tissues)
and those who have high blood pressure or other heart-related diseases.
Asparagus is a good source of folate which is vitally
important for fetal development. It has been shown to potentially prevent
cognitive decline, bestowing it with anti-aging properties! Asparagus is packed
with antioxidants, which neutralize cell-damaging free radicals – another
reason why it’s a great anti-aging food.
Eating asparagus does make your pee smell. But once you’re
past that, there are plenty of reasons to fill your plate with more of this

minerals.
