Asparagus Hangover Prevention

As a press release issued this week by the Institute of Food Technologists shared: "Asparagus may aid the body in accelerating the metabolism of alcohol."
The amino acids and minerals found in the vegetable hold the secret to this biochemical benefit.
Researchers at the Institute of Medical Science and Jeju National University in Korea figured this out after analyzing the components of young asparagus shoots and leaves. They studied how these components interacted with both rat and human liver cells made
If you are a teetotaler, you might as well still have that plate of asparagus. It's a good source of Vitamin C, potassium, folate and other beneficial compounds. It also has antifungal, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties.
