“In ancient times, asparagus was renowned as an aphrodisiac, and maybe for good reason. This succulent, savory vegetable contains a stimulating blend of nutrients that help boost energy, cleanse the urinary tract and neutralize excess ammonia, which can cause fatigue and sexual disinterest.Asparagus is extremely low in calories at about 20 per serving (five spears), has no fat, and is low in sodium.  Plus the vegetable contains the amino acid asparagine, which is important in the development and function of the brain, according to a study published in 2013 in the journal Neuron. Asparagus is high in anti-inflammatory nutrients.”
