Asparagus

Rich in folate, asparagus supports liver function by reducing the risk of toxicity. Low in calories but with a high fiber content, it can help you maintain a healthy weight and proper digestion. Its antioxidants, such as vitamin E and vitamin C help supply your body with extra protection against free radicals and oxidative stress. This lowers your risk of chronic inflammation, cancer and even helps to counter the aging process.
