Asparagus is a nutritious vegetable that contains vitamins A, C, E, K, folic acid, dietary fiber, potassium, selenium and other minerals. It has antioxidant, digestion-promoting, metabolism-regulating, immunity-enhancing and other effects, and is suitable as part of a healthy diet.

Main effects and functions：

1. Antioxidant and anti-cancer

Asparagus is rich in vitamins C, E and selenium, which can neutralize free radicals and reduce cell oxidative damage. Among them, selenium has anti-cancer potential and can inhibit tumor growth; substances such as glutathione can help remove toxins from the body and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

2. Support digestive health

Each 100 grams of asparagus contains about 2.1 grams of dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation. Inulin (a prebiotic) can nourish beneficial intestinal flora and maintain microecological balance.

3. Regulate metabolism and cardiovascular health

High folate content (about 52 micrograms/100 grams) helps lower homocysteine ​​levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Potassium (202 mg/100 g) can regulate blood pressure and help prevent hypertension.

4. Enhance immunity and bone health

Vitamin C and beta-carotene enhance the activity of immune cells; vitamin K (41.6 μg/100 g) promotes calcium absorption, maintains bone density, and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
