Asparagus

The two strongest features of Asparagus is its high content of Vitamin K and Folate.

 

Folate is good for your cardiovascular system since Folate, together with Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12, helps convert homocysteine into cysteine. Without enough Folate you’ll have a buildup of homocysteine in your bloodstream which weakens the blood vessels.

Vitamin K aids the body with blood coagulation, helps fight inflamation and helps prevent bone loss disseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis.
