Vigor Trigger: Asparagus
Posted by Elana Horwich

Asparagus is in season!
Wondering why it has a unique affect on your potty? Me too. I don’t know why. But it does:
- strengthen and stimulate kidney function.
- have an abundance of Vitamin K which helps your blood to clot normally.
- offer itself as a natural weight reducer and is often used in weight-loss programs.
- cleanse the body to help rid of toxins.
- Asparagus was hailed as an aphrodisiac in ancient western and eastern cultures.
