【Benefits of Winter Melon】

Winter melon is low in calories, high in water, rich in carbohydrates, vitamin B group and C, and contains many minerals, which can remove excess water and fat from the body. It also contains succinic acid which can prevent fat accumulation, and fenugreek which can promote human metabolism. It is the most suitable fresh fruit and vegetable for weight loss and is very helpful for losing weight.

【Benefits of Asparagus】

Asparagus is high in fiber, low in calories and can promote intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, the rich folic acid in asparagus can reduce the conversion of calories into fat. The xylose oligosaccharides and water-soluble fiber contained in it, when combined with each other, will help the growth of beneficial bacteria in the human body and help excrete excess cholesterol and fat. Asparagus is a high-potassium food, containing up to 278 mg of potassium ions per 100 grams. Moderate consumption helps the body excrete excess sodium, achieve a sodium-potassium balance, and help eliminate the annoying edema problem. Asparagus is also very low in calories, with 7 stalks containing only 22 calories, making it very suitable for people who are trying to lose weight.

【Healthy reminder】:

Asparagus is rich in folate. Every 16 stalks of asparagus contains 400 micrograms (mcg) of folate, which is the recommended daily amount for adults. However, it should be noted that asparagus is a vegetable that is high in potassium and purine (mostly concentrated in the tips of the seedlings). Therefore, it is not recommended for people with potassium-restricted diets or patients with acute gout or high uric acid levels to consume it in large quantities.

If you want to supplement the folic acid needed by the human body, in addition to eating asparagus, spinach, broccoli, kale, etc. are also foods rich in folic acid and can be chosen.
