A recent study found that asparagus is a great food for helping to cope with hangovers. We don't generally think of vegetables as herbs, but Asparagus officinalis is an herb that is used in the treatment of several conditions. We usually consume the young shoots, but the leaves can be eaten as well and are much higher in amino acids and inorganic minerals. The two key enzymes that upregulate the metabolism of alcohol are more than doubled after ingestion of an extract of asparagus shoots and leaves. That means that asparagus can be a safe, effective means of treating alcohol hangover and protecting the liver from other toxic insults.
Post party you also need to rehydrate and get blood sugar stabilized with veggies and good protein and fats.
There's a new recipe for Warm Winter Salad on our website here.
Yours in health,
