9. Asparagus

Asparagus is very nutrient-dense, containing high levels of vitamin K and folate which is important for cell growth, especially during pregnancy. In addition, asparagus has anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties and can help protect liver and kidney function. Research suggests that the phytochemicals found in asparagus can limit tumor cell growth and may be helpful in preventing and treating cancer.
