Asparagus

Asparagus is a very good source of potassium. Its mineral profile, combined with an active amino acid in Asparagus, asparagines, gives Asparagus a diuretic effect.

Historically, Asparagus has been used to treat problems involving swelling, such as arthritis and rheumatism, and PMS-related water retention, studies also show that Asparagus can shrink and heal aggressive tumors even in children.

Asparagus contains a special kind of carbohydrate called inulin that we don’t digest, but the health promoting friendly bacteria in our large intestine such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli do. When our diet contains good amounts of inulin, the growth and activity of these friendly bacteria increase.

Asparagus is also a birth defect protector, so if you’re thinking about becoming pregnant or are in the early stages of pregnancy, make Asparagus a frequent addition to your meals.

Because the molasses needed to make pumpkin pies was not available, Thanksgiving was once postponed in Connecticut during Colonial times.  Pumpkin pie is still an important part of the holiday celebration, but if you only eat pumpkin at Thanksgiving, and not at other times, you’re missing out on the many health benefits of this colorful fruit.

Pumpkin contains loads of beta carotene and alpha carotene, which are converted to vitamin A in your body.  It’s low in calories, high in fiber and a good source of several important minerals, including iron, potassium and magnesium.
