asparagus

[Guest guest]

>> Has anyone felt better after eating asparagus? <<

Hi , I notice a little improvement from eating asparagus and other

veggies that have a tendancy to be diuretic, if it is at a time when I am

retaining water from either medications or hormonal conditions. I think the

extra water adds to the arthritis swelling. I have also occasionally used

juniper berry in capsules under these circumstances, and/or potassium

gluconate.

I'm sure you already know this with your nursing background, but for anyone

who is not aware of it, I have to say just be careful with anything diuretic

as you can easily upset your electrolyte balance, and don't take them

without talking to a doc if you have kidney conditions.

How is everything else going, ? Liz G.

Did you know that your body requires folic acid (or folate) in order to replace all the cells lining your digestive tract every few days and all of your oxygen-carrying red blood cells every few months? Folate also helps repair all wounded, aging or damaged cells, helps to keep the cells of your heart and nervous system in top form, and maintains the normal removal of homocysteine (high levels are a marker for increased risk of heart disease). Plus, folate is essential for reproductive health since it forms the protective cells covering the cervix and is necessary for the formation of sperm as well as every cell of a growing fetus inside a pregnant woman. Asparagus provides 66% of the daily value for folate, which is just one of many reasons to include asparagus as part of your "Healthier Way of Eating Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
