10 Health Benefits of Asparagus
Health Benefit #7: Heals Wounds
Bumps, cuts, and scratches are just a part of life for a lot of people. Even people that generally take care are not immune to picking up injuries. It is not usually a problem for us, however, because we are quite good at healing our own wounds. That’s provided the wounds we acquire are not too severe of course.
One substance that helps with healing is collagen. It works by attracting certain cells that are responsible for patching us up to the damaged area. Asparagus can help to stimulate the production of collagen and this can, in turn, accelerate healing.
