Asparagus May Make Urine Smell Funny, But It Delivers Extraordinary Health Benefits

by Raw Michelle

(NaturalNews) After consuming asparagus, many people notice that their urine has a distinctly different odor. While not on par with inhaling the pleasant aroma of rose petals, it's a normal process in the body and is not cause for concern.

The reason urine smells different after eating asparagus

According to Dr. Roshini Raj, assistant professor of medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center, "Your body breaks down asparagus during digestion into sulfur-containing chemicals that give your urine a distinctive odor."(1) Furthermore, the World's Healthiest Foods website states that people should go on eating the vegetable despite the odor in urine that often develops after consumption since no studies show a correlation between eating the food, the urine smell, and any resulting health risks.(1)

While the urine odor that many people experience after eating it may not be welcome, its health benefits are a breath of fresh air.

Here's a look at some of the top benefits of eating asparagus.

Health benefits of eating asparagus
Improves digestive health

Asparagus contains an unusual carbohydrate called inulin, which, unlike most carbs, does not break down in the first parts of the digestive tract.(2) Rather, it's not until it reaches the large intestine that it gets digested, making it the perfect food source for certain bacteria, which in turn helps with nutrient absorption, reduced colon cancer risk and allergy relief.(2)

Cancer-fighting abilities

According to the World's Healthiest Foods web site, "asparagus and asparagus extracts can change the metabolic activity of cancer cell types, and these changes are protective in nature and related to better regulation of inflammation and oxidative stress."(2) However, while much has been discussed about asparagus, specifically pertaining to lung cancer and leukemia, it's important to point out that more research needs to be conducted to be fully conclusive.(2,3)

Still, asparagus does contain anti-inflammatory properties and since inflammation is associated with acting as a risk factor for cancer, it's a food that many people choose to add to their diet to ensure an optimally-functioning system.

Better eye and skin health

Asparagus contains vitamin A, which is not only known to boost eye health, but to improve skin, lung and intestinal tissue lining.(4)

Better bone health, wound healing

The vegetable is very rich in vitamin K, which has been linked to helping prevent osteoporosis. Additionally, it's helpful when it comes to assisting with blood clotting, so it's also effective in helping wounds heal.(5)

Sure, there may be an unusual odor to contend with after urinating, but the health benefits of eating asparagus sure outweigh that experience!

Asparagus Can Help To Lift Your Spirits And Reduce The Risk Of Birth Defects

by Raw Michelle

(NaturalNews) Asparagus, the green spear-shaped vegetable that arrives in grocery stores at the beginning of spring, is packed with a wealth of health benefits, making it a good choice to add to your diet. One cup of asparagus contains only 40 calories and has a very low glycemic impact, which makes it a great addition for anyone who wants to reduce spikes in blood sugar levels.

What are the benefits of eating asparagus?

One of the ingredients in asparagus, folate, has been shown to help in the reduction of depression symptoms. Folate works to prevent high levels of homocysteine from accumulating in the body. High levels of homocysteine can interfere with the ability for the brain to receive vital nutrients and hormones, including serotonin and dopamine. When these hormones are not able to reach the brain, symptoms of depression can worsen and sleep patterns can become disturbed.

A few stalks of the vegetable can also help to prevent birth defects, as four spears contribute close to one-quarter of the recommended daily allowance for folic acid. However, pregnant women aren't the only ones who can benefit from consuming folic acid, as the nutrient has been found to help with cell regeneration and reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Keep things regular with asparagus

High in both fiber and water content, asparagus can aid in preventing constipation, ensuring that the body is able to effectively remove toxins before they accumulate. Half a cup of asparagus tips provides close to two grams per serving while only containing 20 calories, making it a great source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

The high fiber content also contributes to the filling characteristic associated with the vegetable, making it a great vegetable choice to aid in weight loss goals. Diets that are high in fiber have been shown to reduce the risk of hypertension and obesity, reduce serum-cholesterol levels, and the development of various gastrointestinal diseases and colon cancer.
