Beneficial properties
Asparagus is a vegetable rich in saponins, polyhephonols and potassium, valid allies of the health of heart, muscles and nervous system.
Their diuretic and purifying action is useful against water retention . However, in the case of cystitis, gout, kidney stones and prostatitis, we do not recommend taking them due to the high intake of uric acids which can aggravate these already existing problems.
