In this video on UroChannel, Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a board-certified urologist and sexologist from Göttingen, explores the health benefits of asparagus. Filmed in the asparagus-rich region of Nienburg, Germany, Buntrock explains that the sandy soil in the area is ideal for cultivating asparagus, predominantly white asparagus that grows underground. White asparagus contains high levels of asparagusic acid, which helps protect the vegetable from threats and diseases. Dr. Buntrock goes on to discuss the reason behind the foul odor in urine after consuming asparagus. Asparagusic acid breaks down into sulfur-containing by-products during digestion, resulting in the distinctive smell. However, not everyone experiences this phenomenon due to genetic differences. Additionally, some individuals may lack the ability to smell the odor due to genetic factors. Moving on to the nutritional benefits, asparagus is rich in vitamins such as C, folic acid, and B vitamins, as well as fiber. However, it is important to note that asparagus also contains purine, a precursor to uric acid, which individuals with gout or high levels of uric acid should be cautious about. Dr. Dr. Buntrock mentions that asparagus has diuretic properties, promoting increased urine production and potentially benefiting those with high blood pressure. Furthermore, the increased urine flow helps flush the system and reduces the risk of urinary tract infections. Lastly, he touches on the historical use of asparagus in natural medicine, where it has been regarded as a traditional remedy for thousands of years. He mentions an old French tradition that suggests consuming large amounts of asparagus before a wedding for its purported aphrodisiac properties.
