Why you need Asparagus in your life!

If you’re not adding asparagus to your meal prep, you need to start!
.
This is one of my favorite vegetables, and up until recently I had no clue of the many benefits the spears we grew up harvesting fresh every summer in Michigan had to offer.
.
First, asparagus is a very low carb veggie that’s loaded with fiber which is great for healthy digestion and reducing bad cholesterol levels.
.
It’s also packed with antioxidants (free radical fighters) and folic acid that promotes DNA synthesis in our bodies...this plays a key role in reducing many disease processes that can lead to certain health concerns like cancer and other inflammatory illnesses.
.
Not only that, asparagus is a great source of vitamins C, A, E and K, all of which aid in reducing inflammation, support the immune system and bone health as well!
.
So the next time you consider skipping this vegetable in the grocery store, remember all of the amazing benefits it brings to the table!
.
I personally love it tossed with a little olive oil, sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, then (taking a bunch of 3-5 spears) wrapped in turkey bacon and roasted! Ahhhhmazing!
