Asparagus

Asparagus includes a variety of essential vitamins and minerals, but it has also been thoroughly researched for its ability to support liver function. The extracts taken from the leaves and shoots of asparagus are proven to boost levels of key enzymes that break down alcohol after heavy drinking.

In fact, one study discovered that asparagus extract raised antioxidant status in animals with liver damage and enhanced numerous liver function markers. Additionally, research in test tubes shows that asparagus is a great source of antioxidants including ferulic acid, kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, and isorhamnetin, which protect cells from harm caused by excessive alcohol use. For a quick side dish, mix asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
